A method is presented for the determination of 2 major plastic monomers, terephthalic acid and vinyl acetate, which are widely used to manufacture plastics that come in contact with foods. The analytes are extracted from aqueous solution by using solid-phase microextraction, followed by quantitation by liquid chromatography (LC) with UV detection. Multivariate optimization was applied and is de...

Some reactive dyes (6a-6l) having Quinazolin-4(3H)-one system have been synthesized by coupling of diazotized 3-(4-(5-(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl) phenyl)-4-oxo-2-phenyl-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-6-sulphonic acid with cyanurated components such as H-acid, J-acid, N-methyl Gamma acid, Peri Sulpho Tobias Koch Bronners Chicago K-acid, N-Phenyl J-acid and M-acid. The were characterized nitrog...

A novel enzyme immobilization platform was prepared on a platinum disk working electrode by polymerizing aniline inside the interstitial pores of polyester sulphonic acid sodium salt (PESA). Scanning electron microscopy study showed the formation of homogeneous sulphonated polyaniline (PANI) nanotubes (∼90 nm) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) confirmed that the nanotubes were stable up to 2...

 Vinyl chloride is readily and rapidly absorbed via inhalation, ingestion and through the skin  At room temperature vinyl chloride is a gas, so inhalation is the major route exposure  Following absorption, it is distributed through the body, with the highest concentrations found in the liver and kidneys, followed by the lungs and spleen  Vinyl chloride is mainly metabolised in the liver int...

an efficient synthesis of some novel coumarin derivatives via 1, 4- michael addition of indole to coumarin chalcones catalyzed by cellulose sulphonic acid (csa) under solvent free conditions is described. the corresponding michael addition products were obtained in good to excellent yield. the synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity against e. coli, s. aureus and an...

A one pot domino protocol for an efficient synthesis of 7-arylbenzo[c]acridine-5,6-diones, with a novel nucleus, has been developed by reacting 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione, aromatic aldehydes and aromatic amines using environmentally benevolent p-toluene sulphonic acid as a catalyst. An exciting feature of this communication is the reaction mechanism that depends on the reaction solvent.

Coulometric titrations of mineral acids, sulphonic acids, carboxylic acids, enols, imides and phenols have been carried out in t-butanol or in acetone with electrically generated tetrabutylammonium hydroxide. Either a potentiometric titration or a visual indicator end-point may be used. The amount of acid titrated ranges from 10 to 60 muequiv, and the precision and accuracy of the method are ex...
