	abstract = {<p>An environmentally benign and efficient process for the preparation of monobromo derivatives of aryl aldehydes and ketones was developed by simple and practical reactions of aryl aldehydes or ketones with 1,3-di-n-butylimidazolium tribromide ([BBIm]Br-3), as a brominating reagent under solvent-free conditions in very high yields. The process has several advantages: high conversions, short reaction time, mild reaction conditions, simple workup with good to quantitative yields and re-usable ionic liquid.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Triethyl citrate (TEC), a non-toxic plasticizer, was synthesized by esterification of renewable citric acid (CA, from entire waste of oranges) with ethanol over modified H-ZSM-5 (HZ-5) zeolite. Different micro-meso composites (M-HZ-5) with varying crystallinities were prepared by alkaline treatment of HZ-5. M-HZ-5(0.6) (87\% crystallinity) was observed to be a potential and environmentally benign catalyst with 96\% CA conversion, 64\% TEC selectivity (61.44\% TEC yield), and a reusability of six cycles. The probable catalytic mechanism of esterification was also proposed.</p>},
