Mesoporous polyacrylamides (PAMs) with tunable porosities were synthesized in 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborates ([Cnmim][BF4], n = 4, 6, 8, 10). The as-synthesized PAM was used as a support for Pd nanoparticles and the Pd/PAM composite showed high catalytic activity and selectivity for the hydrogenation of p-chloronitrobenzene reaction to yield p-chloroaniline.

Background. In many communities where TB occurs at high incidence, the major force driving the epidemic is transmission. It is plausible that the typical long delay from the onset of infectious disease to diagnosis and commencement of treatment is almost certainly the major factor contributing to the high rate of transmission. Methodology/Principal Findings. This study is confined to communitie...

The green synthesis of silver nanoparticles is a rapid and environmentally friendly technique (AgNPs). Silver ions are bioreduced into AgNPs by compound found in Skimmiaanquetilia's aqueous leaf extract, which consists primarily alkaloids coumarins. were synthesized characterized multiple techniques, including ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared analysis, scanning elect...

Comamonas sp. strain CNB-1 grows on 4-chloronitrobenzene (4-CNB) and nitrobenzene as sole carbon and nitrogen sources. In this study, two genetic segments, cnbB-orf2-cnbA and cnbR-orf1-cnbCaCbDEFGHI, located on a newly isolated plasmid, pCNB1 (ca. 89 kb), and involved in 4-CNB/nitrobenzene degradation, were characterized. Seven genes (cnbA, cnbB, cnbCa, cnbCb, cnbD, cnbG, and cnbH) were cloned ...

The catalyzed reactions of GSH with organic nitrate and thiocyanate esters and with a series of chloronitrobenzene substrates have been investigated and the results used to formulate a mechanism for glutathione S-transferase catalysis. All the homogeneous preparations of the glutathione transferases that have been tested catalyze the reaction of GSH with organic nitrates and thiocyanates. The n...

The biochemical mechanisms of resistance to persistent organic xenobiotic p-nitrochlorobenzene (NCB) of bacterial strains isolated from two cave clays ecosystems-Mushkarova Yama (Podolia, Ukraine) and Kuybyshevskaya (Western Caucasus, Abkhazia) have been established It has been determined that chemoorganotrophic karst caves strains could interact with NCB and transform it reducing the nitro gro...

Toxicity studies were performed by exposing F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice to 2- and 4-chloronitrobenzene (CNB) by whole-body inhalation 6 hr/day, 5 days/week, for 13 weeks. Animals were evaluated for clinical chemistry (rats), hematology (rats), histopathology, and body/organ weights. Exposure concentrations were 0, 1.1, 2.3, 4.5, 9, and 18 ppm for 2-CNB and 0, 1.5, 3, 6, 12, and 24 ppm for 4-CNB...

The catalytic hydrogenation of halonitroarenes to haloanilines is a green and sustainable process for the production key nitrogen-containing intermediates in fine chemical industry. Chemoselective poses significant challenge, which requires rational design catalysts with proper ability nitro group simultaneously preventing dehalogenation halogen group. Herein, highly effective Rh@Al 2 O 3 @C si...
