Scientists are rushing to study the tiny plastic specks that are in marine animals — and in us. Credit: Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay ProgramMicroplastics from the Magothy River are pictured at the laboratory of Dr. Lance Yonkos at the University of Maryland.
The crystal structures of three benzimidazole esters containing aryl or heterocyclic substituents at position 2 are reported, and all three exhibit disorder of molecular entities. In ethyl 1-methyl-2-[4-(prop-2-ynoxy)phenyl]-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylate, C20H18N2O3, (I), the prop-2-yn-1-oxyphenyl unit is disordered over two sets of atomic sit...
Crystal structures are reported for three amides containingN-benzo[d]thiazolesubstituents. InN-(benzo[d]thiazol-6-yl)-3-bromobenzamide, C14H9BrN2OS,where the two ring systems are nearly parallel to one another [dihedral angle= 5.8 (2)�], the molecules are linked by N—H���O and C—H���N hydrogenbonds to form ribbons ofR33(19) rings, which are linked ...

Cycloaddition reactions between 3-(5-aryloxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1-(thiophen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-ones and thiosemicarbazide leads to the formation of reduced 3,4′-bipyrazole-2-carbothioamides. Further cycloaddition of these intermediates with either diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate or 4-bromophenacyl bromide leads to reduced ...
The "direct" synthesis of trimethoxysilane (M3) by the reaction of Si with methanol over the Cud catalyst often generates a large amount of erosive HCl gas, causing severe environmental pollution. Thus, it calls for the development of greener and more efficient composite catalysts. In this work, to reduce the amount of CuCl, we employed three pretr...
