The known 2-aryl-6,8-dibromo-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H)-ones 122 were dehydrogenated using thallium(III) p-tolylsulfonate in dimethoxyethane under reflux to afford the 2-aryl-6,8-dibromoquinolin-4(1H)-ones 136. Palladium-catalyzed ...

The syntheses of aromatic oxazolyl functionalized chain end polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) using an oxazolyl functionalized initiator in atom transfer radical polymerization were effected by the following ...

This thesis reports on the synthesis and characterisation of various types of oxidised multiwalled carbon nanotubes (O-MWCNTs) modified polymeric membranes. These OMWCNT modified polymeric membranes were then assessed in ...

The study of rapid cleavage of organophosphate esters by metal ions is of great interest as it is the most important reaction in both biological and environmental sciences. A good understanding of organophosphate hydrolysis ...

Solar-to-thermal energy is considered to be the most direct way of converting solar radiation into usable forms of energy for a wide range of applications, including seawater desalination, heating water, photocatalysis, ...

Laser application in the field of biological and medical sciences has significantly grown, thereby strengthening the field of Biophotonics. Research conducted in Biophotonics focuses on the concept of using light especially ...

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are gaining popularity as a new electrode material for supercapacitor applications, due to their large specific surface area, excellent tunability and unique pore characteristics. Yet, ...

Specially prepared 2-arylquinolin-4(1H)-ones and their 2-aryl-1-methyl-4-quinolone derivatives were converted in high yield and purity to the corresponding C-3 brominated products using pyridinium tribromide in acetic acid ...
