Item Synthesis, characterization and their anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory studies of some novel chromeno oxadiazoles(2013) Ubaradka, S.R.; Isloor, A.M.; Shetty, P.; Shetty, P.; Isloor, N.A.In this study, a series of new 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives containing 3,4-dihydro-2H-chromen-2-amine moiety were synthesized by efficient microwave reaction of 2-amino-N?-hydroxychroman-3-carboxamidine and suitable aldehyde. Structures of all the synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral studies and C, H, N analyses. Newly synthesized compounds were screened for their anticonvulsant and anti-inflammatory properties. Few of the compounds exhibited excellent anticonvulsant activity as compared to the standard drug Diazepam. Also compounds have exhibited moderate anti-inflammatory activity as compared to the standard drug Diclofenac sodium. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.Item Production of 5-(formyloxymethyl)furfural from biomass-derived sugars using mixed acid catalysts and upgrading into value-added chemicals(Elsevier Ltd, 2020) Dutta, S.In this work, 5-(formyloxymethyl)furfural (FMF) has been produced from biomass-derived hexose sugars within a biphasic reaction mixture consisting of aqueous formic acid (85%), a strong Brønsted acid catalyst, and 1,2-dichloroethane as an organic extractant. Using a combination of aqueous hydrobromic acid and formic acid, under optimized condition (80 °C, 8 h, 10 wt% substrate loading), 68% isolated yield of FMF was obtained from fructose. FMF has been demonstrated as a renewable chemical building block for the synthesis of renewable chemicals of commercial significance such as 5-methylfurfural, 2,5-diformylfuran, and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid in good to excellent isolated yields. © 2020 Elsevier LtdItem Pyrene carbaldehyde derived carbon dots for detecting water in alcohol and security printing(Elsevier B.V., 2024) Ullal, N.; Sahoo, B.; Dhanya, D.; Kulkarni, S.D.; Bhat K, U.; AnandThis study focuses on preparing Carbon dots (CDs) from Pyrene-1-carbaldehyde (PCA) using a solvothermal method and further purification using column chromatography. The aggregation-induced emission (AIE) of CDs was systematically investigated in a THF/water medium. The CDs showed red shifts in their photoluminescence (PL) spectra upon increase in water content. Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) images revealed the formation of aggregates, while X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed that the d-spacing values remains unchanged. The NMR spectrum of the CDs displayed peaks corresponding to aromatic carbon, which disappeared upon addition of water due to ?-? stacking, indicating aggregate formation. Based on the aggregation-induced fluorescence emission mechanism, detection of water content in alcohol is demonstrated. Moreover, the synthesized CDs were used as fluorescent colorant in screen inks along with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) as binders. The print proofs obtained on UV-dull paper using PVA-based screen ink exhibited fluorescence emission at longer wavelengths and showcased desirable photostability under prolonged UV exposure compared to the prints obtained using HEC-based ink. Moreover, though the PVA based print appeared blue or cyan fluorescent, the actual yellow emissions from the CDs can be visualised using UV block filter. Such features, masked to the forger, but known to the user can be utilised in checking the authenticity of the print. © 2024 The Authors
