Potassium tribromide wrapped around polyethylene glycol ({K+PEG400}Br3-) was easily prepared by two step reaction of PEG400 with KBr followed by the addition of molecular bromine to give PEG embedded potassium tribromide as a dark viscous oil. The synthesized material was found to be an efficient, cost effective, environmentally benign and recyclable catalyst for the library synthesis of nitrog...

Spirooxindoles are important synthetic targets possessing extended biological activity and drug discovery applications.The development of multicomponent reactions designed to produce elaborate biologically active compounds has become an important area of research in organic, combinatorial, and medicinal chemistry. in this Manuscript, a facile and efficient multicomponent synthesis of functional...

A facile, versatile, and one-pot sonochemical synthesis of polydopamine (PDA)-nanocapsules from dopamine is reported. The nanocapsules (227 ± 25 nm) can encapsulate hydrophobic substances while retaining the reactivity of PDA toward nucleophilic reactions, enabling facile surface modification for different applications. PDA nanocapsules are nontoxic to mammalian cells while Cu-containing PDA ca...

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...
