Synthesis and spectroscopic study of highly fluorescent β-enaminone based boron complexes

The newly synthesized 1, 1, 2-trimethyl-1H benzo[e]indoline based β-enaminone boron complexes exhibited the intense fluorescence (Fmax=522-547 nm) in solution as well as in solid state (F max=570-586 nm). These complexes exhibited large stoke shift, excellent thermal and photo stability when compared to the boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) colorants. Optimized geometry and orbital distribution in ground states were computed by employing density functional theory (DFT). The cyclic voltammetry study revealed the better electron transport ability of these molecules than current electroluminescent materials like tris(8-hydroxyquinoli-nato)-aluminium (Alq3) and BODIPY, which can find application in electroluminescent devices.

Choline peroxydisulfate oxidizing Bio-TSIL: triple role player in the one-pot synthesis of Betti bases and gem-bisamides from aryl alcohols under solvent-free conditions

The one-pot, multicomponent solvent-free synthesis of Betti bases (amidoalkyl naphthols) and gem-bisamides directly from alcohol is proposed by an eco-friendly approach using a new environmentally benign, biodegradable, oxidizing, and task-specific ionic liquid (bio-TSIL), namely, choline peroxydisulfate monohydrate (ChPS) 1. Choline bisulphate (ChBS) 2 reduced species is then generated in situ from 1, which catalyses the formation of the desired products in a shorter reaction time with good to excellent yields. This bio-TSIL 1 plays a triple role as an oxidant, catalyst and solvent. It is easily recycled and can be reused five times.

In Situ Generated Cetyltrimethylammonium Bisulphate in Choline Chloride–Urea Deep Eutectic Solvent: A Novel Catalytic System for One Pot Synthesis of 1,3,4-Oxadiazole

Cetyltrimethylammonium bisulphate ([CTA]HSO4) catalysed one pot synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-oxadiazoles from carboxylic acid and acid hydrazide in biodegradable deep eutectic solvent is investigated. [CTA]HSO4 is generated in situ from cetyltrimethylammonium peroxodisulphate. Cyclization of diacylhydrazide using [CTA]HSO4 gives best alternative to traditional dehydration agents. Its remarkable features include a milder procedure, simplicity in workup and purification, good to excellent yields of products, use of inexpensive, recyclable reagents, and eco-friendly aspects by avoiding toxic catalysts/reagents and solvents.Graphical Abstract.
