Mg/S@g-CN nanosheets: A promising fluorescence sensor for selective Cu detection in water.

This work describes the development of a novel fluorescence sensor based on magnesium/S@g-CN nanosheets for selective detection of copper (Cu) ions in water. Mg/S@g-CN nanosheets were prepared by the polycondensation technique and investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), surface area (BET), and UV-Vis optical absorption measurements. XRD and ATR-FTIR analysis showed the characteristic peaks for S@g-CN.

Synthesis of Multifunctionalized 2,3-Dihydro-4-pyridones and 4-Pyridones via the Reaction of Carbamoylated Enaminones with Aldehydes.

The novel and effective diastereoselective synthesis of multifunctionalized dihydropyridones, including CF-substituted derivatives, has been developed on the basis of the piperidine-promoted domino reaction of carbamoylated enaminones with aldehydes. The products have been prepared in 38-90% yields and can be easily isolated by crystallization. Tautomerism, epimerization, and atropisomerism of dihydropyridones have been studied.

Antimicrobial activity of new 4,6-disubstituted pyrimidine, pyrazoline, and pyran derivatives.

A number of new 2,6-didisubstituted pyrimidine, pyrazoline, and pyran derivatives were synthesized starting from their chalcone derivative. The synthesized compounds displayed different degrees of antimicrobial activity against Bscillus subtilis (Gram-positive), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Gram-negative), and Streptomyces species (Actinomycetes).
