AI Article Synopsis

  • New Schiff base benzoxazine derivatives were successfully synthesized in high yields through a multicomponent reaction involving several chemical compounds and a green catalyst (Cu/KF/CP@MWCNTs NCs) in water at room temperature.
  • The Cu/KF/CP@MWCNTs NCs showed excellent catalytic performance for reducing organic pollutants like 4-nitrophenol in a matter of seconds under mild conditions.
  • Additionally, the antioxidant properties of some synthesized benzoxazines were evaluated through DPPH and FRAP experiments, highlighting the benefits of rapid reactions, high product yields, and easy separation of catalysts and products.

Article Abstract

In this work, we synthesized new Schiff base of benzoxazine derivatives in excellent yields using multicomponent reactions of phthalaldehyde or its derivatives, primary amines, isothiocyanate, 2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone, isopropenylacetylene and methyl or ethyl amine in the presence of catalytic amount of Cu/KF/CP@MWCNTs NCs in water at room temperature. Also, the catalytic activity of the green synthesized Cu/KF/CP@MWCNTs NCs was evaluated in the reduction in organic pollutants such as 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) in water at mild conditions. The results indicated that the biosynthesized NCs have very high and effective catalytic activity for organic pollutants within few seconds. As well the antioxidant activity of some synthesized benzoxazine was studied using trapping of radical by DPPH and ferric reduction activity potential (FRAP) experiment. The short time of reaction, high yields of product, easy separation of catalyst and products are some benefits of this procedure.

The St. Lawrence Estuary (SLE) beluga () population in Canada is Endangered, and endocrine disrupting contaminants, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and other halogenated flame retardants, have been identified as a threat to the recovery of this population. Here, potential impacts of these contaminants on SLE beluga were evaluated by comparing skin transcriptome profiles and biological pathways between this population and a population less exposed to contaminants (Eastern Beaufort Sea) used as a reference.

Halogenated benzenes (HBs) are hydrophobic organic chemicals belonging to persistent organic pollutants. Owing to their persistence, they represent a serious problem in environmental contamination, specifically of soils and sediments. One of the most important physical processes determining the fate of HBs in soils is adsorption to main soil components such as soil organic matter and soil minerals.

Risk characterization of organic micropollutants in public wastewater treatment plant effluents in Flanders, Belgium.

GhEnToxLab, Department of Animal Science and Aquatic Ecology, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium.

This study investigates the ecological risks posed by organic micropollutants (OMPs) in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents in Flanders, Belgium based on single-compound risk characterization. Utilizing a five-year monitoring dataset from the Flemish Environment Agency (VMM) and employing seven ecological threshold values (ETV) types, this research characterizes the risk of 207 OMPs, including pharmaceuticals, pesticides, industrial chemicals, and other pollutants. Several OMPs persist in effluents at concentrations that pose significant ecological risks after secondary and tertiary treatment processes in the region of Flanders (Belgium).

Constructing fecal-derived electrocatalysts for CO upcycling: simultaneously tackling waste and carbon emissions.

The escalating global fecal waste and rising CO levels present dual significant environmental challenges, further intensified by urbanization. Traditional fecal waste management methods are insufficient, particularly in addressing the related health risks and environmental threats. This study explores the synthesis of biochar from pig manure as a carbon substrate to disperse and stabilize Cu nanoparticles, resulting in the formation of an efficient Cu-NB-2000 electrocatalyst for electrocatalytic CO reduction (ECR).

Increasing evidence suggests that organohalogen contaminants (OHCs) could disrupt lipid metabolism in organisms, prompting consideration of fatty acids (FAs) as biological tools for assessing chemical stress in biological systems. This study examined 87 OHCs and 32 FAs in two sentinel cetacean species─Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins ( = 128) and Indo-Pacific finless porpoises ( = 26)─from the northern South China Sea (NSCS), a global hotspot for OHCs. Our results revealed higher OHC levels in these cetaceans than global averages.
