In the present work a fast, reliable and safe Ion Exchange Chromatography-Pulsed Amperometry Detection (IC-PAD) method for direct determination of free cyanide in drinking water has been reported. To the best of our knowledge for the first time we are reporting the application of Gold working electrode for detection of free cyanide in a chromatography system. The system shows a wide linear range up to 8000µg/L. The electrode was found to have improved sensitivity and selectivity in the presence of interfering ions. The detection limit of the system was calculated to be 2µg/L. Long term evaluation of the electrode was found to be stable. Reproducible results were obtained from analysis of drinking water samples with recoveries of 98.3-101.2% and Relative Standard Deviations (RSD) of <2%. This study proves the potential application of the newly developed method for the analysis of free cyanide in drinking water.

Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) is a horticultural crop known for its sensitivity to mechanical damage and susceptibility to postharvest decay. In recent years, various strategies have been implemented to enhance both the yield and quality of strawberries, among which the application of nitric oxide-producing compounds has garnered special attention. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of varying concentrations of sodium nitroprusside (SNP), specifically 0, 200, 400, and 600 μM, on strawberries (cv.

A TFA-catalyzed dearomative cyanidation of isoquinoline is described, which provides a series of 1-cyanoisoquinolines in high yields under solvent-free conditions. This protocol is operated under mild and environmentally friendly conditions, utilizing readily available and cost-effective starting materials. The reaction features broad functional group compatibility, 100 mmol scale synthesis ability and operational simplicity, making it a significant potential approach for the synthesis of various biologically interesting isoquinolines α C-cyanation.

Determination of free cyanide (fCN) is required for various industrial, environmental, food, and clinical samples. Enzymatic methods are not widely used in this field despite their selectivity and mild conditions. Therefore, we present here a proof of concept for new spectrophotometric enzymatic assays of fCN.
