Through metal-free protocol, hypercrosslinked porous polyporphyrin with permanent porosity was obatined via the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of tetracarbazolylporphyrin using formaldehyde dimethyl acetal as an external cross-linker. Its chemical structure and porosity was well characterized and confirmed. The BET specific surface area value of HCP-TCPP is 1050 m2 g-1 and related dominant pore size...

Shape selective xylene production is very important in the polymer industry because of its extensive use as raw material for monomer preparation. The acidity associated with the Lewis and Broensted centers present in the pillars interlayered clay and its textural properties allows good catalytic activity and shape selectivity toward p-xylene production. So, in the present study, ultrasonic and ...

Synthesis Reaction of 1a,b with 2-aminothiophenol and sodium ethanolate in ethanol does not give the expected tetracyclic ring systems, but surprisingly the spirocompounds 2 are obtained. A [2+4] cycloaddition of the intermediately formed 1,2-benzoquinone-2-imine-1-thione with the aurone was postulated. Under these conditions the thioaurones 1c,d showed no reaction. After reaction of 1with 2-am...

the aims of this study were to determine hippuric acid and toluene in urine samples, airborne toluene levels, health effects, and to describe any correlation between specimen samples. seventy-five printing workers exposed to toluene at work (exposed group), and 60 nonexposed people (control group) were studied. study participants were selected from same factories in the different positions. uri...

A genetic algorithm is used to optimize the modified benzene alkylation process. Based on the previous studies, the modified process increases ethylbenzene selectivity and decreases energy consumption at the same time. The inlet ethylene flow rate of each alkylation reactor is optimized in order to reduce the chance of transalkylation reactions but increase ethylbenzene selectivity. The byprodu...

Alkylating agents, mechlorethamine and N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, induce the production of plasminogen activator in U-87MG cells, an alkylation DNA repair deficient (Mer-) human glioblastoma strain. Enzyme induction was not observed, however, in U-178MG and SH-101 cells, alkylation repair proficient (Mer+) glioblastoma strains, or in HeLa cells, which reactivated and supported well t...
