Aromatic aldehydes are efficiently condensed with 2'-hydroxyacetophenone by polymer-supported basic ionic liquid as an excellent heterogeneous catalyst utilizing the Claisen–Schmidt reaction. Microwave irradiation has been employed, providing flavanone in good yield and short reaction time.

Curcumin, a poorly water-soluble bioactive compound, was successfully loaded into three different aromatic contents of hydroxypropylmethacrylamide (HPMA)-based polymeric micelles in order to develop water-soluble curcumin nanoformulations (Cur-Nano). The stability study of Cur-Nano was done by keeping the formulations at 4, 30, and 40 °C for 90 days. The physical appearance, curcumin remaining,...

kevlar is one of the fbers which is used in heavy industrial productions such as, shipping, military and weaving for reinforcement of composites. initial polymer of kevlar or poly(para-phenylene terephthalamide) is an oriented liquid crystal polymer. existence of aromatic group in the main chain leads to formation of rigid-rod molecules in the polymer, high strength and high modulus in it is fb...

The selective response of supramolecular structures, cavitands, is demonstrated using a sensitive optical transduction scheme, surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The methylene bridged cavitands (MeCav) with shallow cavities do not complex aromatic vapors, the pyrazine bridged cavitands (PzCav) show intermediate selectivity whereas the quinoxaline bridged cavitands (QxCav) with the deepest cavitie...

The Stille coupling reaction is a versatile method to mainly form aromatic C-C bonds. However, up to now, the use of palladium catalysts is necessary. Here, a palladium-free and photocatalytic Stille-type coupling reaction of aryl iodides and aryl stannanes catalyzing a conjugated microporous polymer-based phototcatalyst under visible light irradiation at room temperature is reported. The novel...

Biodegradation by brown-rot fungi is quantitatively one of the most important fates of lignocellulose in nature. It has long been thought that these basidiomycetes do not degrade lignin significantly, and that their activities on this abundant aromatic biopolymer are limited to minor oxidative modifications. Here we have applied a new technique for the complete solubilization of lignocellulose ...

In a metal-free procedure, chelating thiol groups and an electrophile react to assemble a robust, conjugated porous polymer with pendant aldehyde functionalities. These groups are able to reduce Ag(i) ions to generate, in situ, Ag(0) nanoparticles evenly dispersed in the polymer matrix. The Ag(0)-polymer composite enables selective reduction of aromatic nitro compounds as a heterogeneous cataly...
