Box 651783868, Hamedan, IranShahnazSaedniaYoung Researchers & Elites Club, Toyserkan Branch, Islamic Azad University, Toyserkan, IranJournal Article20150720Nanocrystalline SiO2–HClO4, as a newly reported catalyst, has been used as an efficient and reusable catalyst for the synthesis of pyrimidine derivatives. The procedure can be successfully applied to the efficient synthesis of mono substituted pyrimidine derivatives, using triethyl orthoformate, ammonium acetate, methyl ketone derivatives. In practice, this method is a combination of a satisfactory synthesis and more significantly easy product isolation and purification. A simple, high yielding in the presence of perchloric acid–functionalized silica nanosphere as a catalyst is described. The catalyst could be used at least five times without any change in the activity. Full characterization of the catalyst was performed by XRD, EDX, UV–Vis, TGA spectra and also by SEM and TEM images.Iranian chemical communication2423-49584Issue 4, pp. 359-490, Serial No. 1320161001An environmentally benign synthesis of aryl-hydrazones with aqueous extract of Acacia pods as a natural surfactant type catalyst3733882255ENHemant VilasChavanMumbai University, MumbaiDnyaneshwar M.SirsatMumbai UniversityYoginath B.MuleSolapur University, SolapurJournal Article20151002An environmentally benign and clean synthesis of aryl-hydrazones by reacting variety of carbonyl compounds with thiosemicarbazide, semicarbazide, aminoguanidine, and phenyl hydrazine has been achieved using aqueous extract of Acacia concinna pods as a natural surfactant type catalyst. We found that the aqueous extract of Acacia concinna pods could be effectively used for the synthesis of aryl-hydrazones. This efficient process proceeds smoothly in aqueous medium at room temperature within a very short period of time. All the products were obtained by simple filtration.

The volatile constituents from the aerial parts of Stachys turcomanica growing wild in Iran were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC and GC-MS. In the GC-MS analysis, Forty-six components representing 81.1% of the oil were identified. The main constituents the oil were 1-octen-3-ol (13.4%), β -pinene (7.9%), α -pinene (5.6%), α -bisabolol(4.4%), ar-curcumene(4.0%) and β –myrcene(3.7%).The phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of alkaloids , flavonoids and terpenoid in varying concentration . The antioxidant activity of aerial parts of methanolic extract was studied in vitro by 2’2’-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical–scavenging activity. The methanolic extract of Stachys turcomanica leaves exhibited amaximum DPPH scavenging activity of (81.61±0.78) %at10mg/mL followed by aerial parts of plant. Whereas for BHT (standard) was found to be (94.79±0.75) % at the same concentration. Methanol solvent to screen the antimicrobial activity selected phytopathogens by agar diffusion method. The maximum antibacterial (phytopathogene) activities were observed on Xanthomonascampestrispv.Campestris,Agrobacterium sp.and Pseudomonas viridiflava.Iranian chemical communication2423-49584Issue 4, pp. 359-490, Serial No. 1320161001Study on mechanical and microcrystalline on hybrid nanocomposites by WAXS3994132285ENShahryarPashaeiDepartment of Chemistry, Payame Noor University, Tehran, I.R of Iran.SoleymanHosseinzadehDepartment of Chemical Engineering, Payame Noor University, Tehran, IranBasavarajaiahSiddaramaiahDepartment of Polymer Science and Technology, Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering, Mysore, IndiaR.SomashekarDepartment of Studies in Physics University of Mysore Manasagangotri, Mysore, IndiaNaserGhorbaniDepartment of Chemistry, Payame Noor University, Tehran, IranJournal Article20151014The aim of this work is to probe the influence of nanoclay and turmeric spends content on microcrystalline of vinyl ester hybrid nanocomposites. A series of vinyl ester hybrid nanocomposites have been fabricated with varying amounts of TS viz., 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 % w/w along with 2% nanoclay. The microcrystalline parameters such as crystallite size and lattice strain of vinyl ester hybrid nanocomposites have been measured by using wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS). These values were correlated with physico-mechanical properties of the vinyl ester hybrid nanocomposites with and without turmeric spent to understand the holistic behaviour of the nanocomposites. Two prominent Bragg reflections at major peak in the 2θ region 17.35 – 17.79º and a small shoulder in the 2θ region around 40.00 - 42.44º were observed in the wide-angle X-ray diffraction patterns of the vinyl ester hybrid nanocomposites films of various ratios.Iranian chemical communication2423-49584Issue 4, pp. 359-490, Serial No. 1320161001Determination of Captopril using platinum coated nanoporous gold film electrode4144322374ENNahidTavakkoliChemistry Department, Payame Noor UniversityNasrinSoltaniChemistry Department, Payame Noor UniversityArezoAfsharpourChemistry Department, Payame Noor UniversityJournal Article20150727In this article electrochemical determination of captopril at the surface of the platinum coated nanoporous gold film (PtNPGF) electrode is reported using the cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. For the preparation of PtNPGF, the surface of NPGF electrode was covered with Cu layer using underpotential electrochemical deposition (UPD).Afterward, the copper layer is replaced with platinum ions via a spontaneous redox reaction to have a uniform Ptoverlayer. Under the optimized conditions, the amperometry peak current of captopril increased linearly with captopril concentration in the ranges of 4.70×10-8 to 4.57×10-5mol L−1. The detection limit of captopril was 1.2×10-8mol L−1. The results show a very good precision (R.S.D < 2.4%), suitable selectivity and very stable response for captopril. The proposed sensor was successfully applied for the determination of captopril in the urine samples of patient human.Iranian chemical communication2423-49584Issue 4, pp. 359-490, Serial No. 1320161001A novel and efficient synthesis of bisindolyl methanes with using silica-supported 3-(triethoxysilyl) propane-1-ammonium chloride as reusable catalyst under solvent free conditions4334482404ENMohammad RezaPoor HeraviDepartment of Chemistry, Payame Noor University, Abhar, IranAazam MonfaredMonfaredDepartment of Chemistry, Payame Noor University, P.O.

Sub-structural molecular fragments (SMF) calculated from structure alone were used to represent molecular structures. A subset of the calculated fragments selected using stepwise regression (forward and backward steps) (SR) was used in the QSPR model development. Multiple linear regressions (MLR) are utilized to construct the linear prediction model. The prediction results agrees well with the experimental values of these properties. The comparison results indicate the superiority of the presented models and reveal that it can be effectively used to predict the boiling point temperatures and water solubility values of crude oil hydrocarbons from the molecular structures alone. The stability and predictivity of the proposed models were validated using internal validation (leave one out and leave many out) and external validation. Application of the developed models to test set of 16 compounds demonstrates that the new models are reliable with good predictive accuracy and simple formulation.Iranian chemical communication2423-49584Issue 4, pp. 359-490, Serial No. 1320161001Fe3O4@silica sulfuric acid nanoparticles as a potent and recyclable solid acid catalyst for the synthesis of indole derivatives4764822439ENAlirezaKhorshidiDepartment of Chemistry, Faculty of Sciences, University of Guilan, P.O.

The morphology of nanostructures was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope. The electrochemical response of the carbon paste electrode modified with nanoparticles of ZnO and also ZnO doped with Fe and Mn toward levodopa (L-Dopa) was studied. Studies of cyclic voltammetry using provided modified electrode showed electro catalytic properties for electro-oxidation of L-Dopa and a significant reduction in anodic over voltage compared to bare electrode was observed. Best response was obtained in terms of the current enhancement, overvoltage reduction, and reversibility improvement of the L-Dopa oxidation reaction under experimental conditions by modified electrode with zinc oxide nanoparticles doped with iron.
