Item Trifluoromethyl-quinolin-yl-thio-propanohydrazide as an effective inhibitor of mild steel corrosion in HCl solution(2006) Ramesh, Saliyan, V.; Adhikari, A.V.3-{[8-(trifluoromethyl)quinolin-4-yl]thio}propanohydrazide(TFQTPH) was synthesized, characterized and tested as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 M HCl and 2 M HCl solution using different techniques: potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results showed that TFQTPH is an excellent inhibitor for mild steel in acid medium. The inhibition was assumed to occur via adsorption of the inhibitor molecule on the metal surface. In the temperature range 20� to 60� C, the TFQTPH adsorption follows Langmuir isotherm model. The protection efficiency increased with increasing inhibitor concentration (10 to 500 ppm), even at higher temperature also, it recorded good inhibition efficiency. � 2006 SAEST.Item Z-scan and degenerate four wave mixing studies on newly synthesized copolymers containing alternating substituted thiophene and 1,3,4-oxadiazole units(2006) Kiran, A.J.; Udayakumar, D.; Chandrasekharan, K.; Adhikari, A.V.; Shashikala, H.D.The third-order nonlinear optical properties of newly synthesized copolymers containing alternating substituted thiophene and 1,3,4-oxadiazole units have been studied in DMF solution at 532 nm by using single beam Z-scan and degenerate four wave mixing techniques with nanosecond laser pulses. The variation of nonlinear response among the copolymers clearly indicates the dependence of ?(3) on donor and acceptor type of units present in the copolymers. The nonlinear refractive index, n2, of the investigated copolymers is found to be negative and the magnitude is as high as 10-10 esu. All samples exhibit strong reverse saturation absorption at the wavelength used and show good optical limiting of nanosecond pulses. The concentration dependence of n2 and the two-photon absorption coefficient (?) has been studied. � 2006 IOP Publishing Ltd.Item Third-order nonlinear optical studies of newly synthesized polyoxadiazoles containing 3,4-dialkoxythiophenes(2006) Udayakumar, D.; John, Kiran, A.; Adhikari, A.V.; Chandrasekharan, K.; Umesh, G.; Shashikala, H.D.The third-order nonlinear optical properties of newly synthesized soluble polyoxadiazoles containing 3,4-dialkoxythiophenes were investigated by using Z-scan and degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) techniques. The measurements were performed at 532 nm with 7 ns pulses from a Nd:YAG laser. We found a good agreement between the values of ?(3) determined from both the experiments. Z-scan results indicate a negative nonlinear refractive index, n2, whose magnitude is of the order of 10-10 esu for all the copolymers. The variation of nonlinear response among the copolymers clearly indicates the dependence of ?(3) on donor and acceptor type of units present in these copolymers. The copolymers exhibit strong reverse saturable absorption and good optical limiting properties at 532 nm. 2006 Elsevier B.V.

The intermediates, 5a-c were conveniently obtained by reacting phosphorus pentasulphide with 2-(3-methyl-7-substituted-2-oxoquinoxalin-1(2H)-yl) acetamides (4a-c) which in turn were synthesized from ethyl (3-methyl-7-substituted-2-oxoquinoxalin-1(2H)- yl) acetates (3a-c) by aqueous ammonia treatment. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and Mass spectral and elemental analyses. These compounds were screened for in vitro antibacterial activity against five pathogenic strains and antifungal activity against four fungi. Preliminary results revealed that some of the synthesized compounds showed promising antimicrobial activity. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.Item Synthesis of some new 2-(3-methyl-7-substituted-2-oxoquinoxalinyl)-5-(aryl) -1,3,4-oxadiazoles as potential non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents(2008) Wagle, S.; Adhikari, A.V.; Kumari, N.S.Ethyl (3-methyl-7-substituted-2-oxoquinoxalin-1(2H)-yl) acetates 2a-c are prepared by the condensation of ethyl chloroacetate with 3-methyl-7-substituted quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones 1a-c. The reaction of 2a-c with hydrazine hydrate furnished 2-(3-methyl-7-substituted-2-oxoquinoxalin-1(2H)-yl) acetohydrazides 3a-c, which on cyclisation with substituted aromatic carboxylic acids in the presence of phosphorous oxychloride give 3-methyl-7-substituted-1-[(5-aryl-1,3, 4-oxadiazol-2-yl)methyl]quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones 4a-y. Further, the compounds 3a-c on cyclisation with carbon disulphide in methanolic potassium hydroxide yielded 1-[(5-mercapto-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)methyl]-3-methyl-7-substituted quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones 5a-c. Finally, the compounds 5a-c are converted to 3-methyl-7-substituted-1-{[5-(alkylsulfanyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]methyl} quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones 6a-i by reacting them with different alkyl halides. The newly synthesized compounds have been characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and mass spectral data and elemental analysis. Selected compounds are screened for in vivo anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity. Few of them exhibited promising activity.Item Synthesis of some new 2-(4-alkylthiophenoxy)-4-substituted-1, 3-thiazoles as possible anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agents(2008) Karabasanagouda, T.; Adhikari, A.V.; Dhanwad, R.; Parameshwarappa, G.A series of new 2-{[4-(alkylthio)phenoxy]methyl}-4-substituted-1,3- thiazoles 4a-q, 6a-j have been synthesized from ethyl [4-(alkylthio)phenoxy] acetates 1a,b through multi-step reaction sequence.

Selected title compounds have been evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity and in vitro antibacterial testing against two pathogenic strains and antifungal screening against two fungi.Item Synthesis and nonlinear optical characterization of copolymers containing alternating 3,4-dialkoxythiophene and 1,3,4-oxadiazolydbenzene units(2007) Udayakumar, D.; Kiran, A.J.; Adhikari, A.V.; Chandrasekharan, K.; Shashikala, H.D.We report the synthesis and linear and third-order nonlinear optical (NLP) characterization of two novel copolymers containing alternating 3,4-dialkoxythiophene and 1,4-bis(1,3,4-oxadiazolyl)benzene units. The copolymers were synthesized with a precursor polyhydrazide route. Both copolymers exhibited fluorescence around 430 nm under the irradiation of UV light. The NLO measurements were made with the single-beam Z-scan technique with Nd:YAG nanosecond laser pulses at 532 nm. The nonlinear refractive index of the investigated copolymers was negative, and the magnitude was as high as 10 -10 esu. The samples exhibited strong reverse saturation absorption and very good optical limiting properties at the wavelength used. The concentration dependence of third-order NLO parameters was studied. 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Item Synthesis and characterization of new light-emitting copolymers containing 3,4-dialkoxythiophenes(2006) Udayakumar, D.; Adhikari, A.V.We report the synthesis, optical and electrochemical properties of a new series of polyoxadiazoles (P1-P3) consisting of 3,4-dialkoxythiophene and 1,4-divinylbenzene units. The polymers are prepared using the precursor polyhydrazide route. The polymers have well defined structure and exhibit good thermal stability with the onset decomposition temperature in nitrogen at around 330 C. The optical and charge-transporting properties of the polymers are investigated by UV-vis spectroscopy, fluorescence emission spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The UV-vis absorption spectra of polymers in solution showed a maximum at around 380 nm. The polymers depicted bluish-green fluorescence in solutions and green fluorescence in thin films. Cyclic voltammetry studies reveal that these copolymers have low-lying LUMO energy levels ranging from 3.25 to 3.31 eV and HOMO energy levels ranging from 5.48 to 5.56 eV, which indicated that the polymers are expected to provide enhanced charge-transporting (electron transport/hole blocking) properties for the development of efficient polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs). 2006 Elsevier B.V.

The polymers are prepared using the precursor polyhydrazide route. The polymers have well defined structure and exhibit good thermal stability with the onset decomposition temperature in nitrogen at around 300 C. All the polymers are soluble in organic solvents such as DMF, DMSO, NMP and in strong organic acids like trifluoroacetic acid. The optical and charge-transporting properties of the polymers are investigated by UV-visible spectroscopy, fluorescence emission spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The UV-visible absorption spectra of polymers in solution showed a maximum at around 400 nm. The polymers depicted green fluorescence both in solution and as thin films. Cyclic voltammetry studies reveal that these copolymers have low-lying LUMO energy levels ranging from -3.28 to -3.36 eV and high-lying HOMO energy levels ranging from -5.5 to -5.56 eV, which indicated that they may be promising candidates for electron-transporting or hole-blocking materials in light-emitting diodes. 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Compounds 1a-b reacted with ethyl chloroacetate in presence of acetone and potassium carbonate to give ethyl [4-(thioalkyl) phenoxy] acetates (2a-b). Further, 2a was oxidized to [4-(methyl sulphonyl) phenoxy] acetate (2c) using hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid. Reactions of (2a-c) with hydrazine hydrate in alcoholic medium furnished 2-[4-thiosubstituted phenoxy] acetohydrazides (3a-b) and 2-[4-methyl sulphonyl phenoxy] acetohydrazide (3c) which on treatment with carbon disulphide and methanolic potassium hydroxide yielded corresponding potassium dithiocarbazates (4a-c). They were then converted to 4-amino-5-{(4-thioalkyl phenoxy) methyl}-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols (5a-b) and 4-amino-5-{(4-methyl sulphonyl phenoxy) methyl}-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (5c) by refluxing them with aqueous hydrazine hydrate. The title compounds 6a-s were prepared by condensing 5a-c with various aromatic carboxylic acids in presence of phosphorus oxychloride. The intermediates 5a-c, on condensation with various substituted phenacyl bromides afforded a series of title compounds (7a-l). The structures of new compounds 2a-7l were established on the basis of their elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and mass spectral data. All the title compounds were subjected to in vitro antibacterial testing against four pathogenic strains and antifungal screening against three fungi. Preliminary results indicate that some of them exhibited promising activities and they deserve more consideration as potential antimicrobials. 2006 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
