A mild, efficient, and environmentally friendly method for the selective protection of secondary hydroxyl groups is described. The method involves the protection of both primary and secondary hydroxyl groups as tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) ethers and selective deprotection of the primary TBDMS group with formic acid in acetonitrile/water. The rates of desilylation of primary and secondary TBDMS ethers by different concentrations of formic acid are determined. Formic acid of 5–20% concentration is found to selectively deprotect primary TBDMS ethers while keeping more than 95% of their secondary counterparts intact.

Nanocellulose is an abundant green resource that, owing to the larger surface area, length, and diameter of the fibers, can be used as a framework for loading Ag nanoparticles and serve as substrate for surface enhancement Raman scattering (SERS). These properties would cause the hydroxyl groups on the surface to adsorb the Ag ions and reduce them to Ag seed to form a load fulcrum. This paper presents a convenient and environmentally friendly method for the fabrication of silver-nanocellulose composites (NCF-Ag). A commonly used pesticide, carbendazim (CBZ), was used as a SERS probe to evaluate the properties of NCF-Ag. The results showed that NCF-Ag possesses good homogeneity, reproducibility, and stability. Additionally, CBZ was found to have a low limit of detection (LOD), i.e., 1.0 × 10−8 M, which indicates the possibility for trace analysis. Furthermore, it presents good linearity with R2 = 0.98 at 1007 and 1270 cm−1 in the range from 10−4~10−7 M CBZ.

AbstractA simple and environmentally friendly method to prepare S-heterocycles by cyclization of aromatic thiols and diols with H2O as a byproduct is described. The Sc(OTf)3-catalyzed dehydrative cyclizations of aromatic thiols and diols provided the corresponding thiopyran and thiophene derivatives. Control experiments were also performed to obtain insights into the reaction pathway

Amoxicillin is an antimicrobial agent that belongs to the penicillin compounds. Its bactericidal action causes a destruction of the cell wall of bacteria. It is widely used in clinical practice, and it belongs to the Brazilian National List of Essential Drugs (RENAME). In literature, there are some green analytical methods for the amoxicillin analysis; however, none of them is focused on its quantification in capsules. Therefore, the aim of this study was to validate an environmentally friendly analytical method for the analysis of this antimicrobial action in capsules, using spectrophotometry in the mid-infrared region. The analyses were performed in the spectral range of 1815–1736 cm−1, and the samples were analyzed as potassium bromide pellets. The method was validated according to the ICH guidelines and Brazilian legislation. Linearity, selectivity, precision, accuracy, and robustness were evaluated and showed adequate results for method validation, in a concentration range of 0.5–1.5 mg/pellet. Thus, it is concluded that the validated spectrophotometric method is able to quantify amoxicillin in capsules. In addition, it is a fast, economical, and environmentally friendly method, since it does not use organic solvents, and it can be used for quality control of routine analysis of this drug.
