The solubility of the compound is a crucial task for new drug design. Quinone is a promising candidate to develop as a new drug. In this research, the synthesis of 1,4-benzoquinone derivatives, that is, 2-(5-bromoamyl)-3,5-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (2a) and 2-(5-bromoamyl)-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (2b) were carried out by decarboxylation and insertion reaction of alkyl bromides. The product 2a and 2b are purified using SiO2 gel column chromatography and analyzed by UV-Visible, FT-IR, and NMR. The yield of 2a is 13.75%, and 2b is 4.04%. The solubility of 2a and 2b, expressed by log P, is measured in the n-octanol/water (3:7 (v/v)) system by the shake flask method. The log P of 2a and 2b are 2.99 and 1.36, respectively. It is showed that the log P of 2a is higher compared to 2b. The presence of two methyl substituents on the quinone ring of 2a supports the increase of hydrophobicity of the compound in the n-octanol/water system.

AbstractThis article reports an amide based Chemosensor used for selective detection of divalent Cu+2 and Ni+2 ions via Fluorescence turn off. The selective sensing ability of Chemosensor was investigated in presence of different metal ions Mg2+, Ag+, Fe2+, K+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Hg2+, Pb2+, Mn2+, Pd2+, Cd2+ and Mn3+ as competitive ions. The receptor i. e. Chemosensor formed complexes with metal ions in 1:1 stoichiometric ratio. The detection limit and binding constant calculated as 1.92×10–4 and 1.4×10–4 M and 2.16×103 M−1 and 3.09×103 M−1 for Cu2+ and Ni2+ions respectively. The complexes were characterized by UV/visible, FT-IR, 13C NMR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Further the structure and Crystallinity were calculated by P-XRD spectral analysis. The crystallinity found to be 65.27 and 67.87% respectively

Cuprous oxide and related materials in nanosizes are of much interest and investigated extensively recently. It is reported here that cubic Cu2O nanocubes were synthesized successfully in aqueous solutions at room temperature in air condition. Copper (II) salts in water were reduced with ascorbate acid in air, using the nonionic pluronic amphiphilic triblock copolymer EO20PO70EO20 (P123) as the template-directing and protecting agent. The average edge length of the cubes varied from 50 to 100 nm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used for the shape and structural characterization of the obtained Cu2O nanocubes. The UV-Vis spectra showed an obvious blue-shift (0.53 eV), compared to the band gap of the bulk Cu2O crystal, which makes it a promising candidate in solar energy conversion since this sample can make use of higher energy visible rays of solar spectrum. In the FT-IR spectra the peak of Cu-O bond for the Cu2O is clearly distinguished and several weak peaks of the C-H, C-C and C=O bonds for the organic species can also be detectable, implying a little P123 residua in the products. The effect of the triblock copolymer P123 on the growth of the Cu2O nanocubes is discussed.

Novel Quinozolins were synthesized in a good yield through convert lacton to lactam and study the biological activity of the synthesized compounds. Quinozolins were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and UV/visible spectra. The novel Quinozolins have been tested in vitro against (gram positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and against other gram negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Proteus vulgaris; in order to assess their antimicrobial properties. Moreover, charge, bond length, bond angle, twist angle, heat of formation and steric energy were calculated by using of the ChemOffice program. The study indicates that these Quinozolins have high activity against tested bacteria. Based on the reported results, it may be concluded that the coumarin act as synthons for synthesis of new Quinozolins derivatives through the replacement of oxygen atom by nitrogen atom.

In this paper we have explored a novel and green method to synthesis and polymerize ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDM). This technique consists on using Maghnite (Algerian clay) as a green catalyst to replace toxic catalysts. The Algerian clay has been modified using two ion exchange process to obtain Maghnite-H+ (proton exchanged process) and Maghnite-Na+ (sodium exchanged process). Synthesis experiments of EGDM and Poly (EGDM) are performed in bulk respecting the principles of green chemistry. The structure of the obtained monomer and the obtained polymer was confirmed by FT-IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR, where the methacrylate end groups are clearly visible. The presence of unsaturated end group in the structure of monomer was confirmed by UV-Visible analysis. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to study the thermal stability of these obtained products. Copyright © 2020 BCREC Group. All rights reserved

The inclusion complexation of 2-aminobenzoic acid (2ABA), 3-aminobenzoic acid (3ABA), and 4-aminobenzoic acid (4ABA) with α-cyclodextrin (α-CD), β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), hydroxypropyl-α-cyclodextrin (HP-α-CD) and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) were studied in buffer solutions of differentpHs (pH~1 andpH~7) and it was carried out using UV-Visible, steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence. Dual fluorescence was observed for all the compounds in aqueous and CD medium. All the ABAs forms 1:1 inclusion complex at pH ~ 1 solution and mixture of 1:1 and 1:2 inclusion complex at pH ~7. With CDs, dual luminescence appeared at pH ~ 1 indicates, both NH3+and COOH groups are present in the interior of the CDs cavities. FT-IR,1H NMR, results suggest ABAs formed a stable inclusion complex with the CDs.

The present investigation demonstrates the formation of silver nanoparticles by the reduction of the aqueous silver metal ions during exposure to the Lagenaria siceraria leaf extract. The synthesized AgNPs have characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) techniques. AgNPs formation has screened by UV-visible spectroscopy through colour conversion due to surface plasma resonance band at 427 nm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed that the resulting AgNPs are highly crystalline and the structure is face centered cubic (fcc). FT-IR spectrum indicates the presence of different functional groups present in the biomolecules capping the nanoparticles. Further, inhibitory activity of AgNPs and leaf extract were tested against human pathogens like gram-pastive (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis), gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The results indicated that the AgNPs showed moderate inhibitory actions against human pathogens than Lagenaria siceraria leaf extract, demonstrating its antimicrobial value against pathogenic diseases

ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) with size less than 100 nm were successfully prepared by a hybrid electrochemical-thermal method using metallic zinc and NaHCO3 without the use of any zinc salt, template or surfactant. The NPs were characterized by Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR) spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. UV-visible spectral analysis indicated that the particle size increased with increasing calcination temperature. The band gap (3.91-3.83 eV) was higher for synthesized ZnO NPs than their bulk counterparts (3.37 eV). The FT-IR spectra at different calcination temperatures showed the characteristic band for ZnO at 450 cm-1 to be prominent with increasing temperature due to the conversion of precursor into ZnO. The wurtzite hexagonal phase was confirmed by XRD analyses for ZnO NPs calcined at 700oC. The green photoluminescent emission from ZnO NPs at different calcination temperatures is considered to be originated from the oxygen vacancy or interstitial related defects in ZnO. SEM images clearly showed that the NPs are granular and of almost uniform size when calcined at higher temperatures. EDX spectra further confirmed the elemental composition and purity of ZnO obtained on calcination at 700oC. The NPs are well dispersed near or above calcination temperature of 700oC.Bangladesh J.
