Liquid-Liquid equilibrium data for the (water + Lactic acid + 2-ethy-1-hexanol) ternary system in T=298.2K and P=1atm were determined and tie- lines related to equilibrium data has been drawn in the phases diagram . The reliability of the experimental tie-line data for this system was as confirmed by using the Hand and Othmer –Tobias correlations. The tie-line data were correlated by means of the UNIQUAC equation for this ternary system , The average root mean square deviation between the observed and calculated mass fractions was 0.66%. A comparison of the extracting capabilities of this solvent by 1-octanol was made with respect to distribution coefficients and separation factors bases. The results show that extraction of lactic acid from aqueous solutions by 2-Ethyl-1-hexanol is possible and 2-Ethyl-1-hexanol is more appropriate than the other octanol isomer.

A series of polystyrene hybrid nanocomposites have been fabricated with varying amounts of TiO2 viz., 0, 0.5 and 1 % w/w along with 3% TS by in-situ polymerization method. The influence of surface modified TiO2 nanoparticles on the thermal properties of PS matrix was examined using thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. Thermal characteristics of the polystyrene/TS/TiO2 hybrid nanocomposites were evaluated by using differential scanning calorimetric (DSC), thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMA). By comparison with the values obtained for the hybrid mixed composites, the thermal properties of 1wt. % TiO2 along with 3wt.% TS are increased. On the other hand, PS/TS/TiO2 nanocomposites have higher glass transition temperature and better thermal and thermo oxidative stability than the bare PS. The morphological behaviors of the prepared polystyrene/TS/TiO2 were analyzed using SEM.

Density-functional-based and ab initio calculations were implemented at different computational levels to estimate the binding energy of Zn2+ ion adsorbed on the available sites of a silicate MEL-type adsorbent. B3LYP and MP2 were used in combination with the 6-31G*, 6-31+G*, LanL2DZ, 6-311+G*, and Def2-TZVP basis sets. The zinc cation was found to preferentially occupy the 6MR sites followed by the cage-like positions. Nevertheles, all of the available sites exhibited negative amounts for the Gibbs free energy and enthalpy of adsorption with the corresponding population-averaged values of –160.84 and –169.53 kcal/mol at the B3LYP/Def2-TZVP level. Overall, the B3LYP/LanL2DZ method illustrated the highest deviation from the others both in trends and absolute values of binding energy. While the absolute binding energy ranged from 131.23 to 230.79 kcal/mol over different sites, the population-averaged binding energies altered from 146.08 to 162.54 kcal/mol depending on the method employed.

The chemistry of 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidines began to develop toward the end of 1893 year, when the first representatives of this class compounds were reported by P. Biginelli. Despite prior reports of several really effective catalytic and non-catalytic approaches towards Biginelli-type products, an overwhelming number of new catalysts for the Biginelli reaction have been recently published. Most of the catalysts are somewhat exotic, expensive, harmful and even ineffective in the absence of acidic additives. This work reports on the preparation of 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidines using the NaF as catalyst. One-pot condensation reactions were carried out for various aryl aldehydes, ethyl acetoacetate, acetyl acetone and urea under solvent-free conditions at 100 °C and afforded the target molecules in good to excellent yields. The advantages of this method are high yield of product, short reaction time, and separation of this catalyst is very comfortable. Furthermore, according to the experimental data, we have proposed the suitable mechanism.

A sodium dodecyl sulfate modified carbon paste electrode (SDS/CPE) was developed in this work based on the surface modification method. The modified electrode was prepared by immersing SDS/CPE in a nickel nitrate solution. This electrode showed a strong accumulation ability toward nickel ions. Then modified electrode was conditioned by potential recycling in a potential range of 0.2–0.8 V (vs. Ag/AgCl/KCl) by cyclic voltammetry in alkaline medium. The results showed that the Ni/SDS on the electrode behaves as an efficient catalyst for the electrooxidation of methanol in alkaline medium via Ni (III) species formed on the electrode. Moreover, the effects of various parameters such as SDS concentration, methanol concentration, NaOH concentration and nickel nitrate concentration on the electrooxidation of methanol have also been investigated.

In this paper, the quantitative structure activity-relationship (QSAR) of the CCR2b receptor inhibitors was scrutinized. Firstly, the molecular descriptors were calculated using the Dragon package. Then, the stepwise multiple linear regressions (SW-MLR) and the genetic algorithm multiple linear regressions (GA-MLR) variable selection methods were subsequently employed to select and implement the prominent descriptors having the most significant contributions to the activities of the molecules. A combined data set including numerical values of inhibition activity data (IC50) of 103 CCR2b receptor derivatives was adopted for our simulations. This study revealed that both SW-MLR and GA-MLR methods consisted of six molecular descriptors. The adopted descriptors belong to topological, charge, RDF and atom-centered fragments classes. A comparison of results by the two methodologies indicated the superiority of GA-MLR over the SW-MLR method. The authenticity of the proposed model (GA-MLR) was further confirmed using the cross-validation, validation through an external test set and Y-randomization.

Heteropoly acid promoted nanoparticle of nickel oxide samples were prepared by sol-gel method using heteropoly acids. Prepared composite was characterized by XRD, FT-IR and ICP technique. In this work, we have reported bromination of phenol, its derivatives and some aromatic compounds. The liquid phase bromination of phenol was Performed using heteropoly acids immobilized nanoparticle of nickel oxide as catalyst, KBr as brominating agent and hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant in acetonitrile at room temperature. The reaction proceeds through the formation of Br+ (bromonium ion), which attacks the phenol ring forming different brominated products. Prepared catalyst can be used several times without a significant decline in catalytic activity.

Current method has major advantages like mild reaction conditions with simple operation, high yields, by using a less toxic and lower costlier catalyst.In conclusion, we have explored nicely the synthetic utility of TBAOH as a commercially available, efficient, mild, straightforward, simple, environmentally and economically friendly organo-basic catalyst for the synthesis of diverse Pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidinone derivtives. Thus we have developed a novel, simple and highly efficient one potmulticomponent reaction protocol for the synthesis of Pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidinone derivtives in ethanol:water solvent system.
