Length-weight relationship and condition factor of Dawkinsia filamentosa (Valenciennes, 1844) in different aquatic habitats

The growth rate of a species in any aquatic environment is an indicator of the water quality of the system. In the current study, the Length-weight relationship (LWR) and the condition factor of Dawkinsia filamentosa from various aquatic ecosystems especially lotic, lentic and brackish lentic systems were compared. It was observed that growth rate of the fish was more in brackish lentic systems. The study showed that already reported growth rate (b) of the species in brackish lentic systems is around 3.273 indicating proximity towards the isometric growth pattern as compared to the growth rate in reservoirs (2.3184) and that in lentic systems (3.116) obtained from present study. Similar studies supplemented with environmental variables can be used to study the health status of the ecosystem. The best system suitable for the adaptive growth of the species can be ascertained only after a holistic approach involving environmental variables

General and selective homogeneous Ru-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation, deuteration, and methylation of functional compounds using methanol

Catalytic valorization of methanol in organic synthesis and energy technologies is interesting and important for both fundamental research and industrial applications. In particular, its utilization as hydrogen, deuterium and methyl sources for selective reduction and deuteration reactions as well as to access N-methylated products is highly desirable and can be considered as a potential methodology for the amplification of transfer hydrogenation and C1 chemistry. Here, we report homogeneous Ru-MACHO complex catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of different functionalized compounds such as ketones, aldehydes, alkynes, alkenes, imines, azobenzenes, and nitro compounds as well as deoxygenation of N-oxide derivatives employing methanol as an affordable hydrogen donor and solvent. This Ru-based strategy has been proven to be very convenient for the deuteration process to synthesize advanced deuterium-labelled compounds, including the gram-scale synthesis of deuterated pharmaceuticals such as d-Cloperastine, d-Buclizine, d-Diphendyarmine, d-Modafinil, and d-Adrafinil using CD3OD. In addition, the application of methanol as a C1 source for the preparation of N-methylated products is showcased. Finally, kinetic and mechanistic investigations for this Ru-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation and deuteration protocols have been performed.Web of Science42540538
