Investigating The Toxicity And Accumulation Of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid (2,4-D) And Glyphosate In Eisenia Fetida, Caitlin Lazurick, Nicole Lidzbarski, Rachel Owings, Jeff Brotherton, Edna Steele Nov 2017

Investigating The Toxicity And Accumulation Of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid (2,4-D) And Glyphosate In Eisenia Fetida, Caitlin Lazurick, Nicole Lidzbarski, Rachel Owings, Jeff Brotherton, Edna Steele

Journal of the South Carolina Academy of Science

Glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup®, is the most widely used herbicide in the world. It is also used in combination with another effective herbicide, 2,4-D, in the formulation called Enlist Duo®. The EPA approved the use of Enlist Duo® on certain crops including those genetically modified to be resistant to both herbicides. The predicted significant increase in the use of these herbicides raised concerns from the general public because both compounds have been classified as possibly or probably carcinogenic. Since herbicides are applied directly to vegetation, the safety of organisms that come in contact …


Preparations And Applications Of Irsnox Electrode In Electrochemical Synthesis Of 2,5-Dichlorophenol, Xiang-Yu Ma, Xu-Guo Tu, Rui-Nan He, Ya Chen, Gui-Sheng Zhu, Shou-Yan Shao, Song Chen Jun 2017

Preparations And Applications Of Irsnox Electrode In Electrochemical Synthesis Of 2,5-Dichlorophenol, Xiang-Yu Ma, Xu-Guo Tu, Rui-Nan He, Ya Chen, Gui-Sheng Zhu, Shou-Yan Shao, Song Chen

Journal of Electrochemistry

The electrodes of titanium based iridium tin oxides (IrSnOx) have been prepared by traditional thermal decomposition method and further applied to the electrosynthsis of 2,5-dichlorophenol in order to explore a green and high efficient synthesis route. The results showed that the electrode surface existed apparent cracks, while the intermediate layer prepared with Sn:Sb=94:6 existed less cracks and longer life time. The main products of the electrolytic reaction were 2,5-dichlorophenol, p-chlorophenol, and 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene. The electrosynthsis yield of 2,5-dichlorophenol reached 57% and the selectivity of 2,5-dichlorophenol was as high as 93% by using the IrSnOx as an anode, which is obviously better …


Diastereoselective Synthesis Of Novel 2,5-Dioxopyrrolidine Derivatives Via Biocatalytic Domino Reactions, Saadieh Mohajer, Robabeh Baharfar Jan 2017

Diastereoselective Synthesis Of Novel 2,5-Dioxopyrrolidine Derivatives Via Biocatalytic Domino Reactions, Saadieh Mohajer, Robabeh Baharfar

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A series of novel 2,5-dioxopyrrolidines were synthesized by the one-pot reaction of coumarin-3-carboxylic acids 1 with thiourea derivatives and alkyl isocyanides in the presence of Fe$_{3}$O$_{4}$ NPs @ lipase as heterogeneous reusable nanobiocatalysts with high yields.


Nanocomposite Copper Metal As An Efficient Heterogeneous Catalyst In Click Synthesis Of 1,2,3-Triazoles In Aqueous Media, Vajihe Nejadshafiee, Hossein Naeimi Jan 2017

Nanocomposite Copper Metal As An Efficient Heterogeneous Catalyst In Click Synthesis Of 1,2,3-Triazoles In Aqueous Media, Vajihe Nejadshafiee, Hossein Naeimi

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Copper/periodic mesoporous organosilica (Cu/PMO) nanocomposites provided a highly active, reusable, globular, solid-phase catalyst for click chemistry. The reaction proceeds by mixing organohalides, sodium azide, alkyne, and the catalyst in an aqueous medium to afford the desired products. The cost efficiency and recyclability of the catalyst up to six runs without appreciable loss of activity and high yields of products make this procedure greener.


Efficient Multicomponent Synthesis Of 1,2,3-Triazoles Catalyzed By Cu(Ii) Supported On Pei@Fe$_{3}$O$_{4}$ Mnps In A Water/Peg$_{300}$ System, Zeinab Hassanpour, Aziz Maleki, Morteza Hosseini, Lena Gorgannezhad, Vajihe Nejadshafiee, Ali Ramazani, Ismaeil Haririan, Abbas Shafiee, Mehdi Khoobi Jan 2017

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A highly dispersible and magnetically recoverable Cu-PEI@Fe$_{3}$O$_{4}$ MNPs catalyst was prepared and successfully applied in one-pot three-component coupling of terminal alkynes, sodium azide, and alkyl bromides/chlorides in water to give 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles with good to excellent yields. The catalyst was fully characterized with FT-IR, TGA, TEM, SEM, VSM, EDX, cyclic voltammetry, and ICP-AES spectroscopic techniques. Furthermore, the catalyst was easily recycled by an external magnet and successfully reused six times in the reaction without significant loss of its catalytic activity and copper leaching. The large-scale reaction was also carried out in the absence of any base and reducing agent even …
