A facile and one-pot multicomponent synthesis of novel 1,4-disubstituted-1H-1,2,3-triazoles from alkenes at room temperature is reported. At the first step, in the presence of I2/NaN3 reagents, various alkenes were converted to the corresponding azido iodides and in the next step, the reaction of these compounds with phenylacetylene in the presence of catalytic amount of sodium ascorbate/ CuSO4...

We examine the formation of giant elliptical galaxies using their globular cluster (GC) systems as probes of their evolutionary history. The bimodal distributions of GC metallicities in such galaxies are often cited as evidence for the formation of giant elliptical galaxies through mergers involving gas-rich spirals, with the metal-rich GCs forming during the merger process. We explore an alter...

We study the stability of the giant gravitons in the string theory background with NSNS B field. We consider the perturbation of giant gravitons formed by a probe D(8− p) brane in the background generated by D(p− 2)D(p) branes for 2 ≤ p ≤ 5. We use the quadratic approximation to the brane action to find the equations of motion. The vibration modes for ρ , φ and r are coupled, while those of xk’...

a water soluble, bronsted acid, 5-sulfosalicylic acid as an efficient organocatalyst was used for the synthesis of physiologically active 2-substituted benzimidazole derivatives from o-phenylenediamine and aromatic aldehydes in ethanol at reflux condition. cost-effectiveness, use of non-hazardous solvents, metal free and commercially available catalyst, single-step, environmentally friendly gre...

Paying off the mortgage, once a widespread rite of passage for homeowners approaching retirement, has become less common in recent years. Concerns are mounting that the increased prevalence of housing debt among older homeowners could compromise financial security in retirement by expanding housing affordability problems, crimping essential nonhousing spending, increasing vulnerability to home ...
