CHOKING IN A PSYCHIATRIC PATIENT - A CASE REPORT

Choking is one of the important types of asphyxia deaths. The incidences of which are not uncommon. The choking in children could be due toys, coins, marbles, nuts and any other small hard object or even sometimes due to stuffed in plastic bags whereas in adults most of the times food bolus or hard parts of food like bone pieces are responsible. It is mostly accidental in nature.  It can cause coughing or sometimes airway obstruction leading to death. We present a case wherein a mentally ill person accidentally choked to death after consumption of food. KEYWORDS: Choking; Asphyxial deaths; Food bolus; Airway obstruction

Transition-metal-free solid phase synthesis of 1,2-disubstituted 4-quinolones via the regiospecific synthesis of enaminones

Herein, the transition-metal-free economical solid phase synthesis of 1,2-disubstituted 4-quinolones has been developed via the novel regiospecific synthesis of enaminones. Notably, a wide range of enaminones were synthesized via a silica-supported solid-phase reaction in good to excellent yields. The transformation of enaminones to 1,2-disubstituted 4-quinolones and N-methyl-2-aryl-4-quinolone alkaloid was achieved in high yield via an alumina-supported solid phase reaction. In addition, all the synthesized compounds were isolated directly in their pure form from the reaction mixture using an easy workup procedure
