Rotary desiccant wheels are widely used in dehumidification and energy recovery applications. In this work, we have developed a 2D, steady state model of a rotary desiccant wheel. Mass and energy balance equations for the air streams and the desiccant wheels were developed. The hydraulic diameter and surface area for heat and mass transfer were calculated based on knowledge of the flute geometry. Appropriate correlations for the Sherwood number and Nusselt number were used to estimate heat and mass transfer coefficients. The model is capable of predicting steady state behavior of desiccant wheels having at the most three sections (process, purge, and regeneration). The mathematical model was validated using a real desiccant wheel, and the calculation results are in reasonable agreement with the experimental data. Based on this model, the temperature and humidity profiles in the wheel during both the dehumidification and the regeneration processes are analyzed. The simulated results were used to gain an insight into the operation of desiccant wheels. The model and the presented results will be useful for optimizing dehumidification and energy recovery applications.

Conformation and microenvironment at the active site of 1,4-beta-D-glucan glucanohydrolase was probed with fluorescent chemo-affinity labeling using o-phthalaldehyde. OPTA has been known to form a fluorescent isoindole derivative by cross-linking the proximal thiol and amino groups of cysteine and lysine. Modification of lysine of the enzyme by TNBS and of cysteine residue by PHMB abolished the ability of the enzyme to form an isoindole derivative with OPTA. Kinetic analysis of the TNBS and PHMB-modified enzyme suggested the presence of essential lysine and cysteine residues, respectively, at the active site of the enzyme. The substrate protection of the enzyme with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) confirmed the involvement of lysine and cysteine residues in the active site of the enzyme. Multiple sequence alignment of peptides obtained by tryptic digestion of the enzyme showed cysteine is one of the conserved amino acids corroborating the chemical modification studies.

A novel zinc(II) phthalate compound, [Zn{C6H4(COO)(2)}(2)](n)(2-)[NH3-(CH2)(3)-NH3](n)(2+), 1 Which contains four different phthalate moieties coordinated to the Zn(II) ion through one each of their carboxyl ate moieties in a eta(1)-form and each phthalate moiety acting as a bridging unit with an overall tetrahedral geometry around the metal ion has been prepared and structurally characterized. The structure is unique in the sense that the dianionic moieties [Zn{C6H4(COO)(2)}(2)](2-) form an infinite one-dimensional network composed of 14-membered cyclic units interconnected in a way that they are disposed alternatively in almost perpendicular planes. The dicationic [NH3-(CH2)(3)-NH3](2+) units are seen to hold these one-dimensional chains by strong coulombic and hydrogen bond interaction, resulting in an infinite two-dimensional layered structure of 1. The compound is thermally stable up to 250 degrees C. Above this temperature it loses one equivalent of phthalate moiety along with the diammonium unit to yield Zn(II) phthalate. The thermodynamic and kinetic parameters associated with this process could be evaluated using Coats-Redfern equation which shows the activation energy Ea for the process as 305.0 kJ mol(-1), the frequency factor A as 1.49 x 10(11) s(-1) and the entropy change Delta S as -35.90 JK(-1) mol(-1). Fluorescent emission properties of 1 was studied by exciting the compound at 380 nm and also at 322 nm which were found to be the two lambda(max) corresponding to absorptions of the molecule. Interestingly, the compound gave same type of emission spectra showing a maximum around 444 nm on exciting at these two different wavelengths, indicating that the molecule comes to the first excited state from the higher excited state by a fast non-radiative process before it exhibits singlet emission to come to the ground state.

Microwave-assisted conjugate addition of indole on nitro-olefins furnished nitro compounds, which were reduced to tryptamines. Further, by using Pictet-Spengler condensation, new 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carbolines were synthesized in diastereoselective manner. Dehydrogenation of the tetrahydro-beta-carbolines produced new 1,4-disubstituted-beta-carbolines. As a new observation, in some of the cases, Pictet-Spengler condensation and dehydrogenation gave two products, namely 1,4-disubstituted-beta-carbolines and 1,4-disubstituted-gamma-carbolines. A mechanism is proposed for this observation. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Their antifungal activities were evaluated in vitro by measuring the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs). Compounds 12, 15, and 16 were found to be more potent against Candida fungal pathogens than control drugs fluconazole and amphotericin B. The studies presented here provide structural modi. cation of fluconazole to give 1,2,3-trazole containing molecules. Furthermore, these molecules were evaluated in vivo against Candida albicans intravenous challenge in Swiss mice and antiproliferative activities were tested against human hepatocellular carcinoma Hep3B and human epithelial carcinoma A431.

Several catalyst formulations using waste fly ash along with Cu were prepared and characterised by XRD, BET and TEM.

The fly ash pretreated by alkali using the fusion method and impregnated with Cu showed higher activity and stability for glycerol hydrogenolysis. Due to pretreatment with alkali at high temperature, transformation of alpha-quartz to the tridymite phase of SiO2 occurred. More importantly, use of alkali either during the pretreatment or the Cu loading step resulted in a high dispersion on the surface which was responsible for higher glycerol conversion and 1,2-PDO selectivity.

The exploitation of renewable resource containing polymers other than cellulose and hemicellulose are critically important for the feasibility of biofuel production. The potential of 1,3-1,4 glucan 4-gluconohydrolyase mediated saccharification of barley beta-glucan (BG) was investigated for ethanol production using thermotolerant Saccharomyces sp. A maximum hydrolysis of 71\% was obtained in 24 h using in-house produced 1,3-1,4 beta-glucanase from an alkalothermophilic Thermomonospora sp. whereas the hydrolysis was 100\% with Accellerase (TM) 1000. The synergistic effect of beta-glucosidase and 1,3-1,4 beta-glucanase was demonstrated by the exogenous addition of beta-glucosidase to Thermomonospora 1,3-1,4 beta-glucanase which resulted in complete hydrolysis of BG. The hydrolysates of BG obtained using Accellerase or a cocktail of Thermomonospora 1,3-1,4 beta-glucanase and beta-glucosidase when fermented with free cells of Saccharomyces at 40 degrees C produced an ethanol yield of 0.44 g g(-1) and 0.46 g g(-1) respectively and when fermented with immobilized cells produced a yield of 0.49 g g(-1). The Ca-alginate immobilized yeast cells were reused nine times at 40 degrees C with 100\% fermentation efficiency. The economics of barley-to-fuel ethanol program will ameliorate if in addition to barley starch, beta-glucan is also utilized. (c) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Density functional theory (DFT)/Becke-Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP) and gauge-including atomic orbital (GIAO) calculations were performed on a number of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives, and the optimized structural parameters were employed to ascertain the nature of their predominant tautomers. C-13 and N-15 NMR chemical shifts of 3-substituted 1,2,4-triazole-5-thiones and their propargylated derivatives were calculated via GIAO/DFT approach at the B3LYP level of theory with geometry optimization using a 6-311++G** basis set. A good agreement between theoretical and experimental C-13 and N-15 NMR chemical shifts could be found for the systems investigated. The data generated were useful in predicting N-15 chemical shifts of all the nitrogen atoms of the triazole ring, some of which could not be obtained in solution state N-15 HMBC/HSQC NMR measurements. The energy profile computed for the dipropargylated derivatives was found to follow the product distribution profile of regioisomers formed during propargylation of 1,2,4-triazole thiones.

A one-pot procedure for the synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles by a three-component reaction of allyl or benzyl halides, sodium azide, and terminal alkynes over a neutral alumina-supported copper iodide catalyst has been developed. The products were isolated by simple filtration followed by washing of the catalyst with acetone. The products were obtained in almost pure form in up to 98\% yield (TON 495). The catalyst can be recycled for more than eight subsequent reactions. The halides are directly converted into triazoles via in situ formation of azides and thus handling of hazardous azides can be avoided. The broad scope of this protocol is shown by the synthesis of a variety of diversely substituted 1,2,3-triazoles and also two-component azide-alkyne click reaction. The key features of this procedure are the use of water as a solvent, recyclability of the catalyst up to eight runs without appreciable loss of activity, and high yields of products. The catalyst has been fully characterized by FTIR, solid-state NMR and EDX spectroscopy, ESEM, TGA, and XRD.

In the category of microorganism, fungi are considered as the special class of microbes responsible for opportunistic pathogenic infections in humans species. Due to the side effects of commercially available antifungal drugs and the emergence of new drug resistant fungal species in the past few years, has forced the researchers to search for novel and efficient antifungal drug molecules. The 1,3,4-oxadiazoles scaffold is associated with diverse biological activities. The multipurpose use of the Mannich bases in pharmaceutical chemistry promote us to prepare a new series of 5-(4-(benzyloxy)substituted phenyl)-3-((phenyl amino)methyl)-1,3,4oxadiazole-2(3H)-thione as antifungal agents. Herein, we report molecular sieves and ultrasound assisted synthesis of novel series of Mannich bases of the 5-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiones by amino methylation with paraformaldehyde and substituted primary / secondary amines and their evaluation for antifungal activity. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were determined by IR, NMR and Mass spectral study. The synthesized compounds exhibited interesting moderate to excellent antifungal activity against Candida albicans (NCIM 3557), Candida albicans(NCIM3471), Candida glabrata(NCIM3237), Cryptococcus neoformans (NCIM 3542), Cryptococcus neoformans(NCIM 3378), Aspergillus fumigates(NCIM 902), Aspergillus niger(NCIM 628) using Flucanazole as a standard reference drug.

beta-Methoxyacrylate group is an important pharmacophore of commercially used strobilurin fungicides. In the present study, a total of seventeen 1,2,4-triazole thiols 8a-h and 1,2,3-triazole substituted 10a-i strobilurin derivatives have been synthesized. 1,2,4-Triazole thiol substituted strobilurin derivatives 8a-h have been found to inhibit the growth of plant pathogens such as Fusarium oxysporum, Magnaporthe grisea, Drechslera oryzae and human pathogens Aspergillus fumigatus and different strains of Cryptococcus neoformans, with MIC in the range of 16-256 mu g/mL. In case of Candida albicans tested strain, the MIC is \> 256 mu g/mL. p-Chlorophenyl substituted 1,2,4-triazole thiol strobiulrin derivative 8e is the most potent inhibitor with MIC of 16-64 mu g/mL against most of the tested pathogens. Antifungal action of the compounds is due to inhibition of mitochondrial respiration. In the resazurin reduction assay, EC50 for inhibition of RZ reduction in D. oryzae by azoxystrobin and 8e are 3.42 +/- 0.03 mu g/mL and 3.63 +/- 0.21 mu g/mL, respectively; while in case of C. neoformans, EC50,, of azoxystrobin and 8e are between 0.65-0.85 mu g/mL. In a non-pathogenic model Benjaminiella poitrasii, though the MIC for all the synthesized compounds 8a-h and 10a-i are \> 256 mu g/ml, yeast to hypha transition is inhibited in the range of 21-75\% at 4 mu g/mL concentration while EC50 for inhibition of RZ reduction by azoxystrobin and 8e are 31.5 +/- 0.4 mu g/mL and 17.95 +/- 0.7 mu g/mL, respectively. The 50\% germ tube formation inhibition in case of C. albicans is observed at 108.49 mu g/mL. 1,2,4-Triazole thiol substituted strobilurin derivatives hold promise for the control of pathogenic fungi in agriculture and health care.

In search of new active molecules against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) H37Ra and M. bovis BCG, a small focused library of benzothiazinone based 1,2,3-triazoles has been efficiently prepared via click chemistry approach. Several derivatives were found to be promising inhibitors of MTB and M. bovis BCG characterized by lower MIC values (27.34-29.37 mu g/mL). Among all the synthesized compounds, 6c and 6e is the most active compound against MTB and M. bovis BCG. The compounds were further tested for anti-proliferative activity against HeLa, A549 and A431 cell lines using MTT assay and showed no significant cytotoxic activity at the maximum concentration evaluated. Further, the synthesized compounds were found to have potential antioxidant activity with IC50 range = 14.14-47.11 mu g/mL. Furthermore, to rationalize the observed biological activity data, the molecular docking study also been carried out against a potential target MTB DprE1, which revealed a significant correlation between the binding score and biological activity for these compounds. The results of the in vitro and in silico study suggest that the triazole incorporated benzothiazinone may possess the ideal structural requirements for further development of novel therapeutic agents.

Compounds 5b, 5e, 5g and 5q exhibited very good antitubercular activity. All the newly synthesized compounds 5a-t were further evaluated for antiproliferative activity against HeLa, A549 and PANC-1 cell lines using modified MTT assay and found to be noncytotoxic. On the basis of cytotoxicity and MIC values against Mycobacterium bovis BCG, selectivity index (SI) of most active compounds 5b, 5e, 5g and 5q was calculated (SI = GI(50)/MIC) in active and dormant state. Compounds 5b, 5e and 5g demonstrated SI values \>= 10 against all three cell lines and were found to safe for advance screening. Compounds 5a-t were further screened for their antibacterial activity against four bacteria strains to assess their selectivity towards MTB. In addition, the molecular docking studies revealed the binding modes of these compounds in active site of enoyl reductase (InhA), which in turn helped to establish a structural basis of inhibition of mycobacteria.

Design, synthesis, and biological screening of 2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran tethered 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives as anti-tubercular agents were described. The synthesis of the target compounds was conducted by a series of reaction schemes. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, and mass spectrometry. The therapeutic potential of the synthesized compounds was confirmed by molecular docking studies. Among the synthesized compounds, 12a, 12c, 12d, 12e, 12g, and 12j were found to be more active against non-replicating than against replicating cultures of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra ex vivo and in vitro. These compounds exhibit minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values in the range of 2.31-23.91g/mL. The cytotoxicity study was conducted against the cell lines THP-1, A549 and PANC-1, and the compounds were observed to be non-toxic to host cells. Molecular docking was conducted with InhA (FabI/ENR) and suggested the antimycobacterial potential of the synthesized compounds. The investigation presented here was found to be adventitious for the development of new therapeutic agents against Mycobacterium infection.

Excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) in 18-dihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone (18DHAQ) dye has been investigated in two series of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium ([C(n)mIm](+)) based ionic liquid (IL) solvents, [C(n)mlm][NTf2] and [C(n)mlm][BF4], with n = 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10, using steady-state (SS) and time resolved (TR) fluorescence studies. In both the IL series, fluorescence intensity for tautomer (T*) form gradually decreases relative to normal (N*) form with increasing n value for [C(n)mlm](+) cations. Observed results suggest microstructure formation and its consequent effect on the ESIPT process of the dye in these IL solvents. Since more extensive microstructures are likely with larger n values of [C(n)mIm](+) cations, the dye is expectedly solubilized more in the polar microdomains of the solvent microstructures, resulting better stabilization for the more dipolar N* state and hence a higher emission intensity from this state. This proposition is clearly supported by ultrafast (sub-picosecond) fluorescence kinetics for both N* and T* states, though sub-nanosecond TR results indicate very similar fluoresce decays for both N* and T*, suggesting an eventual kinetic equilibrium between two states subsequent to the initial ultrafast and fast forward and backward ESIPT processes. Small differences between the results in the [C(n)mIm][NTf2] and [C(n)mIm][BE4] series of ILs are attributed to dissimilar size, shape and basicity of [NTf2]- and [BF4]- anions, responsible for some characteristic changes in the microstructures formed in the respective solvent series. To the best of our knowledge, present study is the only report demonstrating modulations in the ESIPT process through microstructure formations in neat [C(n)mIm](+) based IL solvents.

Direct and economic transformation of biodiesel derived crude glycerol is gaining more significance. During screening of bacterial cultures Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter aerogenes were able to convert crude bio-glycerol to 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BDO) and 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO), as major compounds, ethanol and acetoin as minor compounds, with a conversion of 69\% and 79\% respectively. Process optimization could achieve maximum conversion at pH 7.0, 37 degrees C, 30-40 g/L glycerol and 1.5 g of inoculum until 120 h. Mixed cultures led to complete glycerol conversion with optimal yield and productivity. An innovative approach of using crude glycerol for sustained growth and tolerance of bacteria as source of carbon and energy makes this study more significant. In addition to this, a mixed culture concept introduced here is expected to make impact in process economics for industrial scale synthesis for direct transformation of glycerol into C3 and specifically, C4 diols.

Glycerol is one of the top 12 platform chemicals obtained from biomass. Its surplus availability as a by-product of biodiesel, fat-splitting and soap manufacturing industries and affordable price lends significant opportunity for its valorization, using solid catalysts, into propanediols (PDOs), particularly to 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO), by selective hydrogenolysis. 1,3-PDO is an important chemical with wide applications including that as a precursor in polymers manufacturing. However, the synthesis of 1,3-PDO by selective cleavage of the secondary C-O bond of glycerol in the presence of hydrogen (instead of the primary C-O bond yielding 1,2-PDO) is highly challenging. Of late, supported Pt and Ir catalysts in combination with a reducible oxide (WO(x)or ReOx) were found selective for 1,3-PDO formation. Support, metals composition and additives (co-added metals) affect the performance of these catalysts. Detailed investigations revealed that metal dispersion, electronic connectivity between metal and metal oxide/support, hydrogen activation/spillover and Bronsted acidity are some parameters that influence the activity and selectivity of these bi-functional, metal-metal oxide catalysts. This review summarizes the latest advances in these solid catalysts for selective hydrogenolysis of glycerol to 1,3-PDO, a monomer for advanced polymers.

Low-temperature oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of 1-butene to 1,3-butadiene is one of the challenging reactions in the polymer industry. Towards this a highly dispersed cerium iron oxide was synthesized by citrate gel combustion method and employed for the synthesis of 1,3-butadiene (BD) from 1-butene. The reaction was carried out at low temperature under an oxygen-free atmosphere in a continuous flow mode fixed bed reactor. A decrease in the lattice parameters observed from PXRD and high-resolution TEM analysis proved that iron occupies cerium sites in the crystal lattice. XPS, TPR, and oxygen uptake studies quantified the nature and abundance of different oxygen species. ODH was observed through consuming lattice oxygens. The vacancies generated could be filled by re-oxidation with an external supply of oxygen which will restore the catalytic activity demonstrating the Mars van Krevelen mechanism. [GRAPHICS] .

Herein, we identified a potent lead compound RRA2, within a series of 54 derivatives of 1,2,4-triazolethiols (exhibit good potency as an anti-mycobacterial agents) against intracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Compound RRA2 showed significant mycobactericidal activity against active stage Mycobacterium bovis BCG and Mtb with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 2.3 and 2.0 mu g/mL, respectively. At MIC value, RRA2 compound yielded 0.82 log reduction of colony-forming unit (cfu) against non-replicating Mtb. Furthermore, RRA2 compound was selected for further target identification due to the presence of alkyne group, showing higher selectivity index (\> 66.66 +/- 0.22, in non-replicating stage). Using {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}click{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} chemistry, we synthesized the biotin linker-RRA2 conjugate, purified with HPLC method and confirmed the conjugation of biotin linker-RRA2 complex by HR-MS analysis. Furthermore, we successfully pulled down and identified a specific target protein GroEl2, from Mtb whole-cell extract. Furthermore, computational molecular modeling indicated RRA2 could interact with GroEl2, which explains the structure-activity relationship observed in this study.

Eugenol and isoeugenol, secondary metabolites isolated from the plant Myristica fragrans have displayed antifungal activities against Aspergillus fumigatus (IC50 1900 mu M). Compounds having conjugated unsaturation have been of great use as antifungals i. e. amphotericin B, nystatin and terbinafine etc. Hence, in the present study, we have designed and synthesised 1,3-diynes by utilizing Glaser-Hay and Cadiot-Chodkiewicz coupling reactions to furnish possible antifungal agents. Synthesis of 1,6-diphenoxyhexa-2,4-diyne derivatives was achieved by Cu(I) catalysed coupling of propargylated eugenol, isoeugenol, guaiacol, vanillin and dihydrogenated eugenol or eugenol in good to excellent yields. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated against pathogenic fungus A. fumigatus. Among all the synthesized compounds, one of the compounds was found to be exhibiting promising antifungal activity with IC50 value of 7.75 mu M thereby suggesting that this type of scaffold could pave the way for developing new antifungal agents. The most active compound was found to be low cytotoxic when assayed against L-132 cancer cell line. Effect of the most active compound on ergosterol biosynthesis has also been studied. Also, the most active compound exhibited significant anti-biofilm activity although the concentration was found to be higher than its anti-fungal activity. Morphological changes in the biofilm were remarkable under confocal laser scanning microscopy.

A (3+2) cycloaddition between unbiased alkenes and 1,3-dicarbonyls is accomplished by judicious choice of electrode material and electrocatalyst to access dihydrofuran derivatives. A fluorinated porous carbon electrode with appropriate thickness governs unprecedented reactivity. This methodology eliminates the necessity for any stabilizing group within the alkene substrate. This is a rare example of the annulation of unbiased internal and terminal alkenes with cyclic and acyclic beta-dicarbonyls.
