An efficient and green procedure for the synthesis of 2, 4, 6-triaryl-1H-imidazole in polyethylene glycol under microwave irradiation in excellent yield has been developed. Polyethylene glycol is non toxic, reusable, inexpensive and easily available.

polyethylene glycol was easily grafted to silica gel and used as a solid–liquid phase transfer catalyst in the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds. this silica-grafted polyethylene glycol is proved to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst in the reduction of nitroarenes to the corresponding aromatic amines with zinc powder in water. the reduction reactions proceeded efficiently with excellen...

physiological effect of six levels of water stress (0, -0.1, -.03, -0.6, -0.9 and -1.2 mp) was studied on seed germination and plumule as well as radicule growth length in three species namely: agropyron elongatum, agropyron desertourm and secale montanum. polyethylene glycol (peg) was used to provide appropriate water potentials. a total of 100 seeds in four replications (petri dishes) were so...

A new technique in which polyethylene glycol is added to double-antibody assays of lutropin and follitropin eliminates the need for an incubation period during the separatory phase. After the antigen-first-antibody equilibrium reaction, the second antibody and polyethylene glycol (30 g/L final dilution) are added, the tubes are immediately centrifuged, each supernate is aspirated, and the preci...

The effect of various additives such as fly ash, phosphogypsum, jaggery, lime, and polyethylene glycol on green waste composting was investigated through assessing their influence on microbial growth, enzymatic activities, organic matter degradation, bulk density, quality of finished compost including gradation test, heavy metal analysis, etc. A perusal of results showed that addition of jagger...

Much interest has been attracted to the magnetic materials with porous structure because of their unique properties and potential applications. In this report, Fe3O4nanoporous particles assembled from small Fe3O4nanoparticles have been prepared by thermal decomposition of iron acetylacetonate in the presence of polyethylene glycol 4000. The size of the spherical nanoporous particles is 100-200 ...

The purpose of this study is to fabricate the polyethylene glycol matrix tablet by mold technique. Indomethacin and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose were used as model drug and polymer, respectively, in PEG matrix system. The physical and drug release characteristics of developed matrix tablet were studied. This inert carrier system comprising 7:3 polyethylene glycol 4000: polyethylene glycol 400 c...

(1) We have measured the incompatible phase separation that occurs in a polyethylene glycol-sodium dextran sulphate-sodium chloride-water system and have determined a critical point. (2) We have measured the activity coefficients of sodium chloride in critical-point concentrations of polyethylene glycol and sodium dextran sulphate respectively, and the osmotic coefficient of sodium dextran sulp...

To determine whether topical acyclovir in polyethylene glycol could reduce the severity of herpes simplex labialis if applied immediately after onset of a recurrence, 10% acyclovir in polyethylene glycol ointment or polyethylene glycol alone was prospectively dispensed to 352 patients in a double-blind, randomized trial. Sixty-nine subjects initiated treatment in the prodrome (57%) or erythema ...
