In our research, new bis-α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds (Z2-Z4) were prepared via Claisen- Schmidt reaction, by the condensation of 2,6-dimethyl-3,5-diacetyl-1,4-dihydropyridine (Z1) with different appropriate benzaldehyde, like (benzaldehyde, m-nitro benzaldehyde and o-chloro benzaldehyde) using 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide as a base. A simple efficient method has been applied for synthes...

The interaction of Hantzsch pyridinecarboxylic acids with dialkylformamides and POCl3, followed by treatment with NH4OH yields 1,8-dioxo-1,2,7,8-tetrahydro-2,7,10-triazaanthracenes (DOTTADs), which have great potential as useful ligands for Group I and II metals and some transition metals. The corresponding Hantszch esters similarly for DOTTADs or their bis-imines by way of isolable intermediat...

In this work, the results of a study comparing the use of irradiation from different regions of the infrared spectrum for the promotion of several organic reactions, are presented and discussed. This use of eco-conditions provides a green approach to chemical synthesis. A set of ten different organic reactions were evaluated, including the Knoevenagel, Hantzsch, Biginelli and Meldrum reactions....

The development of an interband cascade laser (ICL) based spectroscopic trace-gas sensor for the simultaneous detection of two atmospheric trace gases is reported. The sensor performance was evaluated using two ICLs capable of targeting formaldehyde (H2CO) and ethane (C2H6). Minimum detection limits of 3.5 ppbV for H2CO and 150 pptV for C2H6 was demonstrated with a 1 s integration time. The sen...
