in the present study, an attempt has been made to synthesize 3-methyl-4-arylmethylene isoxazole-5(4h)-one derivatives through sonication of hydroxylamine hydrochloride, ethyl acetoacetate and benzaldehyde derivatives in the presence of imidazole as a novel and effective catalyst in aqueous media. this green reaction under ultrasound irradiation has advantageous compared to conventional procedur...

Dynamic carbohydrate systems have been efficiently generated through phosphine-mediated disulfide metathesis in aqueous media. The protein compatibility and binding features of the dynamic systems were demonstrated in situ using (1)H STD NMR.

Introduction of carbon side chain at C(3)-position of indole ring was accomplished by using Pd-catalyzed allylation and vinylation. The selective vinylation at C(3)-position of 4-bromoindole was applied to the synthesis of optically active 4-bromotryptophan derivatives, which was used as a starting material for the synthesis of several optically active ergot alkaloids, which were clavicipitic a...

the effect of acetate ion introduced to aqueous solutions was investigated for the extraction/separation of ni and co from a dilute sulfate media. the separation of co and ni was improved by introducing acetate to aqueous media. by the use of the slope analysis method,the stoichiometric coefficient of the extractant was found to be 4 for cobalt and 3.5 or 4 for nickel depending on the acetate c...

During the last two decades, organic reactions in aqueous media have been attracting increasing attention. Furthermore, It has been established that some DielsAlder reaction dramatically accelerated in aqueous media. These have been alternatively ascribed to hydrophobic association of the reacting partners, micellar catalysis, solvophobicity, high internal solvent pressure, cohesive energy dens...

We review recent developments and applications of aldolase-type organocatalytic direct transformations in aqueous media without addition of organic solvent.

THz spectroscopy is an emerging technique for studying the dynamics and interactions of cells and biomolecules, but many practical challenges still remain in experimental studies. We present a prototype of simple and inexpensive cell-trapping microfluidic chip for THz spectroscopic study of live cells. Cells are transported, trapped and concentrated into the THz exposure region by applying an A...

This paper investigates a nano-enhanced wireless sensing framework for dissolved oxygen (DO). The system integrates a nanosensor that employs cerium oxide (ceria) nanoparticles to monitor the concentration of DO in aqueous media via optical fluorescence quenching. We propose a comprehensive sensing framework with the nanosensor equipped with a digital interface where the sensor output is digiti...
