Green synthesis techniques make use of moderately pollutant free chemicals to synthesis nanometerials and embrace the use of benign solvents such as water, natural extracts. Green chemistry seeks to reduce pollution at source. Though physical and chemical methods are trendier for nanoparticles synthesis, the biogenic fabrication is a better choice due to eco-friendliness Nanoparticles due to their smaller size and large surface to volume ratio exhibit remarkable novel properties and methodical applications in the field of biotechnology, sensors, medical, catalysis, optical devices, DNA labeling, drug delivery and they are rewardingly treated as a bridge between bulk material and atomic and molecular structures. To Synthesize the Zn(OH)2 precursors from various aromatic acids like 3,5 Di Nitro Benzoic Acid, 3,5 Di Nitro Salicylic Acid..........

Scaffold of Polyvinyl alcohol/Montmorillonite clay have been developed using electrospinning. SEM images of electrospun nanofiber mat showed that they had similar and smooth morphology without beads, and spindle shape. The addition of clay will results in decreasing the average fiber diameter and thereby increasing the surface area. The benefit of high surface area is obvious in drug delivery systems for poorly water-soluble drugs. Their FTIR spectra indicate that the PVA and MMT clay interacted intermolecularly via hydrogen bonds in the nanofiber mats. Their XRD patterns confirmed that they were amorphous, because of amorphization during electrospinning. The XRD analyses also strengthened the FTIR studies; namely, PVA and MMT formed intermolecular interactions in the electrospun nanofiber mats. From the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, the nanofiber mats exhibited very high antioxidant activities despite having been exposed to high voltage during electrospinning. Therefore, they are potential antioxidant products for food and pharmaceutics.

Heterocyclic compounds play a significant responsibility in the metabolism of living cell. Many of the heterocyclic compounds have pharmacological action and quantifiable uses. The chemistry of heterocyclic compounds had been an interesting field of study of long time. Chiefly, nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds have customary special consideration in pharmaceutical chemistry due to their miscellaneous medicinal prospectives. Two set of compounds A and B have been synthesized in excellent yield through Fischer's indolosation method via acetic acid as a solvent. The synthesized compounds were characterized and established by various instrumental techniques viz, FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and Mass spectroscopy. The synthesized compounds were subjected to antimicrobial action. The outcome showed that the synthesized compounds exhibit brilliant antifungal activity than antibacterial activity.

Heterocyclic compounds constitute the core structure of a number of biologically interested compounds against microorganisms. The synthesis of substituted and condensed indole has been attracted many researchers due to their importance in biological activity. So far, five compounds has been synthesized by enhanced approach of Fischer's synthesis namely 1,2,3,4-tetra hydrocyclopenta(b)indole, 3,8-dihydro-2H-furo(2,3-b)indole, 5,6-dihydro-11H-benzo(a)carbazole, 6,11-dihydro diindolo(3,2b)carbazole and 12,12-dimethyl-6-hydro-indolo (3,2-b)carbazole. The formation of various compounds were confirmed by spectral techniques viz, FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MASS Spectroscopy. A comparative study among the compounds of present investigation on antimicrobial evaluation reveals that all the compounds exhibit excellent antifungal activity than antibacterial activity.

In the present work, kinetics of synthesis of synthesis of 1-(prop-2-ynyloxy) benzene was successfully carried out by O-propargylation of phenol with propargyl bromide using aqueous potassium hydroxide and catalyzed by a new multi - site phase - transfer catalyst viz., 1,3,5,7-tetrabenzylhexamethylenetetraminium tetrachloride, MPTC under ultrasonic ( 40kHZ, 300W) assisted organic solvent condition. The pseudo first-order kinetic equation was applied to describe the overall reaction. Under ultrasound irradiation (40 kHz, 300 W) in a batch reactor, it shows that the over all reaction rates can be greatly enhanced to seven times faster with ultrasound irradiation than without using ultrasound. The present study provides a method to synthesize ethers by ultrasound assisted liquid-liquid phase-transfer catalysis.

A potentially active Schiff base ligand and their binuclear copper complexes have been prepared by the condensation of 2,6-diformyl-4-methyl phenol and 2-aminobenzoic acid in the molar ratio 1:2. The Schiff base ligand can coordinate with two copper ions to form binuclear complexes after the deprotonation of the hydrogen atoms of the phenolic groups in all complexes. The synthesized ligand and its copper(II) complexes were characterized by several techniques using molar conductance, elemental analysis, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, UV-Visible, FT-IR and ESR spectral studies. The complexes are non-electrolytic in nature as suggested by molar conductance measurements.............

A Schiff base ligand was synthesized from p-chlorobenzaldehyde and o-aminophenol by grinding method. Schiff base transition metal complexes were prepared from the corresponding metal salts in ethanol by grinding method. The synthesized complexes were characterized by UV-Visible, Infra-red, NMR, Mass, ESR spectral techniques and Molar Conductivity studies. Corrosion inhibition of the Schiff base and its metal complexes were evaluated using weight loss method in a 0.1MHNO3 solution for mild steel. It was found that the compounds had a promising inhibitory action against corrosion of mild steel in the medium investigated. The synthesized ligand and its complexes have been screened for antimicrobial studies.

In the current research, removal of copper(II) from aqueous solution using nanochitosan/sodium alginate/microcrystalline cellulose bead as an adsorbent is studied in packed bed with respect to various parameters like initial concentration, flow rate and bed height. The breakthrough characteristics of the adsorption were studied by describing the breakthrough curve. The fixed bed column experiments carried out as a function of NCS/SA/MC bed height (1cm and 1.5 cm), flow rate (1.0 ml/min and 1.5 ml/min) and inlet metal ion concentration (200mg/L and 300 mg/L) reveals that the breakthrough time and exhaustion time were increased with increase in bed height and decreased with increasing influent metal ion concentration and flow..........
