background pyrocatechol or 1, 2-dihydroxybenzene, or 2-hydroxyphenol is considered as apriority pollutant since it is harmful to organisms at low concentrations, and has been classified as hazardous pollutants. objectives the objective of this study was to examine whether azolla filiculoides, is able to remove pyrocatechol from aqueous solutions. materials and methods this study is an experimen...

The ultrafast dynamics of solutions of phenol and two phenol derivatives--hydroquinone (1,4-benzenediol) and pyrocatechol (1,2-benzenediol)--have been studied with Optically Heterodyne-Detected Optical Kerr-Effect (OHD-OKE) spectroscopy. The solvents, methanol and acetonitrile, were selected to provide strong and weak solvent-solute hydrogen-bonding interactions, respectively, while pyrocatecho...

The presence of catechol groups in hydrogels, either grafted to the constituting polymers or added gel formulation allow increase adhesion strength such hydrogels. In this investigation, we add pyrocatechol (1,2-benzenediol) and pyrogallol (1,2,3-benzenetriol) gelatin solution form hydrogels using sodium periodate as an oxidant with aim induce interactions between pyrocatechol/pyrogallol chains...

In the present investigation, the antioxidant activity and free radical scavenging activity of Crambe cordifolia plant were spectrophotometrically studied. Free radical scavenging activity was determined by DPPH method and the obtained IC value was 1106.65 μg/mL. For comparison, the IC value of standard ascorbic acid 50 50 was 21.69 μg/mL. Antioxidant activity was determined by phosphomolybdate...

A method for the visual detection of fluoride is presented using an aqueous solution of Pyrocatechol Violet (PV), which changes its color from yellow to blue by the formation of a ternary complex with Zr(H2O)2EDTA; also, the blue color of PV-Zr-EDTA readily shifts to orange red upon the addition of a moderate concentration of fluoride. The mechanism has been interpreted by a ligand-exchange rea...

The catalyst system prepared in situ from iron(III) salts, tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine and a base readily catalyses the intradiol dioxygenation of pyrocatechol in methanol, to primarily afford the half-methyl ester of muconic acid. Dimethyl adipate is obtained by the subsequent, one-step catalytic hydrogenation/esterification, thus providing a green route to this important nylon precursor.

this study, the effects of a number commonly used pesticides on activity polyphenol oxidase (PPO) enzyme from pesticide-free and pesticide-applied 'Jonagold' apples were comparatively evaluated. Substrates 4-methylcatechol, pyrocatechol, pyrogallol L-tyrosine to determine substrate specificity PPO obtained apple. According results, contrary, apple did not show any against which is monophenolic ...
