Green synthesis of environmentally benign collagen fibers-derived hierarchically structured amphiphilic composite fibers for high-flux dual separation of emulsion
Fiber based antibacterial materials have gained an enormous attraction for the researchers in these days. In this study, a novel Sericin Encapsulated Silver Nanoclusters (sericin-AgNCs) were synthesized through single pot and green synthesis route. Subsequently these sericin-AgNCs were incorporated into ultrafine electrospun cellulose acetate (CA) fibers for assessing the antibacterial performance. The physicochemical properties of sericin-AgNCs/CA composite fibers were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and wide X-ray diffraction (XRD). The antibacterial properties of sericin-AgNCs/CA composite fibers against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) were systematically evaluated. The results showed that sericin-AgNCs incorporated in ultrafine CA fibers have played a vital role for antibacterial activity. An amount of 0.17 mg/mL sericin-AgNCs to CA fibers showed more than 90% results and elevated upto >99.9% with 1.7 mg/mL of sericin-AgNCs against E. coli. The study indicated that sericin-AgNCs/CA composite confirms an enhanced antibacterial efficiency, which could be used as a promising antibacterial product.
An efficient and environmentally benign synthetic protocol has been developed for the synthesis of benzo[c]pyrazolo[2,7]naphthyridine derivatives through regioselective multi-component “on-water” reaction of isatin, malononitrile and 3-aminopyrazole.
An environmentally benign three-component synthetic method is described for the construction of 2-aryl-4-phenylquinazoline derivatives from the reaction between aldehydes, ammonium acetate, and 2-aminobenzophenone in the presence of lactic acid in a solvent-less media. The benefits of the reaction were good yields, a simple procedure, simple starting materials short reaction time, easy work-up, and cleaner reaction profiles.

Five- and six-membered N-heterocyclic compounds play an important role in medicinal chemistry and in the development of new drugs. In this manner, there is a constant demand for the development of novel biologically potent compounds and there is also an increasing pressure to develop alternative and more sustainable synthetic methodologies following the Green Chemistry principles. Thus, the present review aims to compile the latest progress in the use of ultrasound irradiation in water conditions to mediate the synthesis of five- and six-membered N-heterocyclic compounds in an environmentally benign manner.
An environmentally benign and highly substrate-protic ionic liquid controlled synthesis of 1,2-disubstituted and 2-substituted benzimidazoles with outstanding selectivity is demonstrated through grinding a mixture of OPD, aldehydes and catalyst.
ZIL@CuO1–3 were developed as a catalyst for the synthesis of bis-coumarins under environmentally benign conditions. Mechanochemistry induced synthesis of bis-coumarin derivatives with more than 90% yield was accomplished.
The nature deeds alike a hefty “bio-laboratory” embracing of plants, algae, fungi, yeast etc. which are poised of biomolecules. These indeed befalling biomolecules must stood notorious to play an active role in the establishment of nanoparticles through diverse shapes and sizes thus acting as a driving force intended for the scheming of greener, safe and environmentally benign protocols for the synthesis of nanoparticles. The contemporary chapter targets the proportional biogenic synthesis and mechanisms of nanoparticles using biomolecules. The practice of biomolecules not only diminishes the price of synthesis but also curtails the need of using hazardous chemicals and arouses ‘green synthesis’. It also emphases on aspects of binding of biomolecules to nanoparticles and certain of the applications of the biosynthesized nanoparticles as sensor for cations, anions and also biosensors.

Recent advances in the environmentally benign synthesis of common heterocycles are described. This account features three main parts; the preparation of non-aromatic heterocycles, one-ring aromatic heterocycles and their condensed analogs. Due to the great variety of and high interest in these compounds, this work focuses on providing representative examples of the preparation of the target compounds.
