Triazole Linked N-Acetylglucosamine Based Gelators for Crude Oil Separation and Dye Removal

Marine oil-spills have a long-lasting impact on the environment; therefore, it is a major concern in the scientific community to find a solution for remediation. Recently, phase selective organo-gelators emerged as potential materials for removal of oil from water through selective gelation. Herein, we report synthesis of a series of C-6 triazole linked N-acetylglucosamine derivatives, among which three have shown excellent selective gelation of organic solvents, diesel, petrol, and crude oils in water and seawater. We have studied phase selective gelation against different API grade crude oils (from light to heavy), and the gelation was achieved using nontoxic carrier solvent at room temperature in less than 15 min, and gelators were found useful for recovering crude oils. Critical gel concentration (CGC) of crude oil gelators was found to be 2.3-12% (w/v). The variable temperature NMR and FTIR experiments reveal that intermolecular hydrogen bonding was responsible for gel formation. Furthermore, a gelator was utilized for selective dye removal from water.

Studies toward the synthesis of linear triazole linked pseudo oligosaccharides and the use of ferrocene as analytical probe

Three different building blocks have been synthesised and used for the synthesis of linear triazole linked pseudo oligosaccharides with copper(I)-catalysed cycloaddition (CuAAC). Ethynylferrocene has been used as analytical probe to improve the UV/Vis pro

Synthesis of methyl 2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-α- and β-d-xylo-hexopyranosid-4-ulose, a keto sugar which misled the analytical chemists

To understand the contradictory results on the structure of the lipopolysaccharide isolated from a Yersinia enterocolitica O:3, both anomers of methyl 2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-d-xylo-hexopyranosid-4-ulose were prepared. The key steps of the synthetic pathw

Furanodictine A and B: Amino sugar analogues produced by cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum showing neuronal differentiation activity

We investigated the constituents of Dictyostelium discoideum to clarify the diversity of secondary metabolites of Dictyostelium cellular slime molds and to explore biologically active substances that could be useful in the development of novel drugs. From a methanol extract of the multicellular fruit body of D. discoideum, we isolated two novel amino sugar analogues, furanodictine A (1) and B (2). They are the first 3,6-anhydrosugars to be isolated from natural sources. Their relative structures were elucidated by spectral means, and the absolute configurations were confirmed by asymmetric syntheses of 1 and 2. These furanodictines potently induce neuronal differentiation of rat pheochromocytoma (PC-12) cells.
