One main group of organic chemistry is related to the aromatic compounds. In the present work, we replaced the CH group of benzene by silicon and nitrogen analogues. Then, Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out for six-membered heterocyclic Si-N aromatic rings. Full geometry optimizations were performed in gas-phase, and at B3LYP level using 6-311++G(d,p) and CBSB7 basis ...

Aromatic amines are an important group of industrial chemicals, which are widely used for manufacturing of dyes, pesticides, drugs, pigments, and other industrial products. These compounds have been considered highly toxic to human beings due to their carcinogenic nature. Three groups of aromatic amines have been recognized: monocyclic, polycyclic, and heterocyclic aromatic amines. Bacterial de...

since the use of antibiotics in animal feeds has been banned, researches on alternative natural products that modulate ruminal fermentation have been intensified. natural compounds such as plant extracts have been considered to be replaced antibiotics as safe and sustainable alternatives. plant extracts especially essential oils and saponins have strong antimicrobial, antiparasitic, antiprotozo...

an aquifer located within a petroleum processing plant in moín, costa rica, suffers hydrocarbon pollution. this study aimed to determine the ability of indigenous microorganisms from this site to degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) to evaluate the feasibility of an eventual bioremediation process. aerobic conditions were found in the aquifer, while microbial analyses of the groundw...

considerable attention has been focused on the synthesis of benzimidazoles due to having a broad spectrum of biological activities such as anti-parasitic, fungicidal, anti-thelemintic and anti-inflammatory activities. as a part of our research work in this area, a series of benzimidasole derivatives (3a-n) were synthesized in good to high yields by reaction of o-phenylenediamine and different a...

Background: The genus Thymus is a perennial and aromatic plant and belongs to Lamiaceae family. The essential oils of these plants are used for the treatment of mouth and throat mucosal inflammation, catarrh and respiratory disorders and as antioxidant and antiseptic. Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare chemical composition of the essential oils derived from aromatic waters of ...
