The macrocyclic ligands 2,3,5,6-Bis{3’-bromo-5’-tert-butyl benzo-5-phenyl benzo} 12C3 (L1), 2,3,5,6-bis{3’-bromo-5’-tert butyl-benzo-5’-phenyl-benzo}15C4 (L2), 2,3,5,6-bis{3’-bromo-5’-tert butyl-benzo-5’-phenyl-benzo}18C5 (L3) have been synthesized and their alkaline metal compounds with NaClO4∙H2O and KClO4  have ...

The nitrogen-containing indeno[1,2-b]quinoxaline ring is a privileged structurally fused active system and has notable applications in various fields of chemistry.

Concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in groundwater at a coal tar site were elevated by factors ranging from 3 (pyrene) to 50 (indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene) over purely dissolved concentrations. Air-groundwater surface tension measurements (70.6 +/- 3 dyn/cm) were not sufficiently different from air-pure water measures (72.2 +/- 0.1 dyn/cm) to ascribe the observed enrichments to ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a large group of organic contaminants causing hazards to organisms including humans. The objective of the study was to validate the vegetation of dredged sediments with Phragmites australis as an exploitable biostimulation approach to accelerate the depletion of PAHs in nitrogen spiked sediments. Vegetation with Phragmites australis resulted in being ...

       A series of novel indeno[1, 2-b]quinoxalin-11-ylidenamines 2-9 have been synthesized via condensation of indane[1, 2-b]quinoxalin-11-one (1) with various primary aromatic amines in presence of AcOH for 3 h. Compound 1 was synthesized by condensation of indane-1,2,3-trione with benzene-1,2-diamine in presence of AcOH. The synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1H-NMR, ...

A series of pyrene-based polycyclic aromatic compounds, indeno[cd]pyrene, diindeno[cd,fg]pyrene, diindeno[cd,jk]pyrene, tris-(tert-butylindeno[cd,fg,jk])pyrene, and tetrakis-(tert-butylindeno[cd,fg,jk,mn])pyrene, were reduced with alkali metals in [D8]tetrahydrofuran, and the resulting anions were studied by NMR spectroscopy. It was found that the diatropic character of the dianions obtained de...

An unexpected palladium-catalyzed cascade reaction of 2-alkynylhalobenzene with 2-alkynylaniline is reported, which provides a novel and efficient pathway for the synthesis of 11H-indeno[1,2-c]quinolin-11-ols.

The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of (E)-7-arylidene-3-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-6,7-dihydroindolizin-8(5H)-one and azomethine ylide which was generated in situ by the 11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-one L-proline afforded novel 1'-aryl-3”-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-5',5”,6',6”,7',7a'-hexahydro-1'H,8”H-dispiro[indeno[1,2-b]quinoxaline-11,3'-pyrrolizine-2',7”-indolizin]-8”-one moderate yields. stru...
