Optimization of grafting of polyacrylonitrile onto chitosan was performed by varying the process parameters such as ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) concentration, polyacrylonitrile concentration and reaction time to study their influence on percent grafting and grafting ef- ficiency. The optimum reaction conditions obtained for grafting of acrylonitrile onto chitosan were reaction time 55 mins, CAN concentration 1% in Con. HNO3, and polyacrylonitrile concentration 0.75 mol/L. The characterization of the grafted products by means of FTIR, thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy furnished the evidence of grafting of polyacrylonitrile onto chitosan. Keywords: Chitosan-g-polyacrylonitrile, Ceric ammonium nitrate, Grafting efficiency, Grafting yield 1. Introduction synthetic polymers increased its properties tremendously. Besides these applications chitosan has few drawbacks Chitosan is a unique basic polysaccharide and partially such as acidic solubility, low thermal and mechanical deacetylated polymer of glucosamine obtained after alka- stability. To improve these drawbacks, chitosan can be line deacetylation of the chitin [1]. It consists of mainly modified physically and also chemically. Now days, a lot of β-[1-4]-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose units and is of attention has been paid on chemical modification of the second most abundant biopolymer on earth after cell- chitosan. One such important modification is graft ulose, widely distributed in crustacean shells and cell copolymerization [6-9]. Of all possible modifications, walls of fungus [2,3]. Chitosan is soluble in dilute acids. graft copolymerisation of vinyl monomers onto natural The solubility occurs by the protonation of the –NH2 polysaccharides is quite promising [10,11]. function on the C-2 position of the D-glucosamine repeat Grafting onto chitosan and its derivatives has been the unit, where by the polysaccharide is converted to a thrust of researchers.

  • Quinone Formation Via Ceric Ammonium Nitrate Oxidations of 2-Alkyl-1,4-Dialkoxybenzenes
    Quinone Formation via Ceric Ammonium Nitrate Oxidations of 2-Alkyl-1,4-dialkoxybenzenes by Alexander Linwood Simmons April, 2016 Director of Thesis: Brian E. Love, PhD Major Department: Chemistry Quinones are cyclohexadiendiones that have a variety of uses ranging from medical applications to synthetic building blocks.1 Medicinal applications stem from the potent biological activity (e.g. antitumor and antibiotic) these compounds and some derivatives possess.2, 3 The most common preparation method to access these compounds is oxidative demethylation of hydroquinone dimethyl ethers (1, R1=R3: Me) typically using ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as seen in Figure 1. Oxidation using CAN can yield a product mixture of the (mono)quinone (2) and the symmetric dimeric quinone (3). Previous work4, 5 in our group has resulted in the development of several protocols for altering the monoquinone to diquinone ratio by altering reaction conditions (e.g. substrate concentration, mode of addition, etc.). The current focus further explores manipulation of this ratio and reaction efficacy through substrate solubility and cerium coordination. We will discuss how ether linkages of various hydrophobicities and coordination modes change product outcome and if altering a single ether linkage (R1) or both linkages (both R1 and R3) affect the product ratio. 1 2 3 Figure 1 – General Substrate Reaction Quinone Formation via Ceric Ammonium Nitrate Oxidations of 2-Alkyl-1,4-dialkoxybenzenes A Thesis Presented To the Faculty of the Department of Chemistry East Carolina University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Chemistry by Alexander Linwood Simmons April, 2016 © Alexander Linwood Simmons, 2016 Quinone Formation via Ceric Ammonium Nitrate Oxidations of 2-Alkyl-1,4-dialkoxybenzenes by Alexander Linwood Simmons Approved by: Director of Thesis: ____________________________________________________________ Brian E.

  • Practical Approach to Green Chemistry
    International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences ISSN- 0975-1491 Vol 9, Issue 4, 2017 Review Article PRACTICAL APPROACH TO GREEN CHEMISTRY MEENA BHANDARI*, SEEMA RAJ Department of Chemistry, School of Basic and Applied Sciences, K. R. Mangalam University, Sohna Road, Gurgaon, Haryana, India Email: [email protected] Received: 13 Oct 2016 Revised and Accepted: 14 Feb 2017 ABSTRACT The basic principles of green chemistry addresses various issues related to synthesis of chemical compounds: planning organic synthesis to maximise yield, prevention/minimization of waste, atom economy, the use of less lethal chemicals, use of safer solvents, renewable starting materials, energy efficiency and use of green catalysts. The objective of this study is to elaborate the practical approach of green methods. In this paper, we elucidate some important common syntheses having green procedures which can be used in the fields of pharmaceutical chemistry and other fields as well. Green chemistry principles follow up to reduce pollution and environmental degradation by utilizing eco-friendly, non- hazardous, reproducible and efficient solvents and catalysts in the synthesis of drug molecules, drug intermediates and in researches involving synthetic chemistry. The paper also approaches green methods in which microwave radiation can be used as an energy efficient tool. Experimental procedures are gathered from educational journals and laboratory manuals and are viewed in the light of efficacy of green chemistry principles.
