Advances in the Synthetic Utility of Difluorocarbene Generated from TMSCF (Ruppert-Prakash Reagent) and Its Derivatives.

Organofluorine compounds are of pivotal significance particularly, in drug and agrochemical industries and different strategies have been designed for their synthesis. The last two decades witnessed the emergence of difluorocarbene as an efficient synthetic tool, providing easy access to organofluorine compounds. This review summarises the reactions of difluorocarbene generated from Ruppert-Prakash reagent (TMSCF) and its derivatives TMSCFCl and TMSCFBr.

Trace metal contamination in core sediments of Pandharabodi Lake, Central India: eco-environmental implications.

Freshwater lakes in central India like Pandharabodi Lake (PBL), face escalating environmental pressures due to anthropogenic activities, threatening their ecological conditions. Despite growing concerns, systematic investigations on trace metal pollution in the PBL sediments are so far not done, hindering effective conservation strategies. The present study aims to evaluate temporal distribution, enrichment, and potential eco-environmental risks of 14 trace metals (Al, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb, Co, U, V, Rb, Th, and Sc) in the PBL core sediments.

Isolation, identification and bioprospecting potential of Bacillus subtilis, endophytic bacterium from Bruguiera gymnorrhiza (L.) Lam. ex Savigny.

Mangroves are crucial for supporting coastal communities, benefiting both humans and animals. Their intricate root systems grasp the soil, mitigating erosion and dampening wave impact. As a result, they shield and fortify shorelines that would otherwise erode.

A review of urban heat island mapping approaches with a special emphasis on the Indian region.

With an estimated population of about 6 billion living in urban areas by 2050, controlling the rate of urbanization is one of the major challenges governments face in the twenty-first century. Increasing urbanization is problematic since it causes heat accumulation within urban areas due to the enhanced anthropogenic activities. With developing countries like India aiming for their economic growth, combating urban heat islands (UHIs) is a critical step in improving the quality of life.
