Lemon Juice as a Natural Catalyse for Synthesis of Shiff’s base: A Green Chemistry Approach

The advantages of the use of natural catalysts are eco-friendly, inexpensive, high yields, nonhazardous and short reaction times. The utilization of green chemistry techniques is the elimination of solvents during chemical processes or the replacement of hazardous solvents with environmentally friendly solvents. Green chemistry has used for the synthesis of Schiff bases. Synthesis of Schiff base is carried out the mixture of aldehyde (or ketone) and amine in organic medium with or without an acid catalyst. He presents study Uses Lemon juice as a natural and eco-friendly catalyst in the green chemistry investigated. The synthesized product was characterized by its physical properties, melting point, TLC and then subjected to the in vitro antibacterial activities against gram-positive and gram-negative strains of microbes

Synthesis, structural characterization and biological activity of Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes derived from 2-(thiazol-2-ylimino)thiazolidin-4-one ligand

A novel series of metal complexes of 2-(thiazol-2-ylimino) thiazolidin-4-one ligand were prepared; the corresponding ligand was synthesized from reaction 2-Chloro-N-(thiazol-2-yl) acetamide with ammonium thiocyanate. The complexes are characterized by FTIR, UV-Vis, molar conductance and mass spectroscopy. The low molar conductance values indicate that the complexes are non-electrolytes.Spectroscopic studies confirmed that the ligand bonded to the metals through the sulphur atoms. Coordination number of copper and nickel complexes is four with square planar geometry, while the cobalt complex has octahedral geometry.In vitro antibacterial activity of ligand and its metal complexes was evaluated using well diffusion method and compared to the standard drug (tetracycline). The antibacterial activitywas examined against Escherichia coli, and pseudomonas aeruginosa, as gram negative bacteria and Staphylococcus aureus as gram positive bacteria. It was found that Nickel complex has the highest antibacterial activity among the synthesized compounds with Zone inhibition diameter in the range 25-29 mm

Using of Naproxen drug for novel synthesis of 4-thiazolidinone derivatives and application of these drugs as no steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) and as anti-epileptic agent

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are now one of the most frequent drugs used in treatment of pain, inflammation and fever. In this study the aim is the synthesis of derivatives of 4-Tiazolidinon from naproxen with the possible anti-pain effects, and the main purpose of providing these derivatives is to achieve a compound with more anti-pain power and less side effects in comparison with applied drugs in clinics. Synthesis of these derivatives is done on chloride in presence of a group of new liquids like recyclable ionic liquids choline chloride, which the main advantages of these ionic liquids are the cheapness, availability, being non-toxic, and easy recyclability. This reaction was done in four stages. All the structures were verified by using data of spectrum testing, 1H-NMR, FT-IR
