Among four possible oxidative structures only one structure with 62.99 kcal.mol-1 activation energy could lead to the decarboxylative product. Silver catalyzed decarboxylation leads to products in one step. The activation energy for this path have been determined to be 43.31 kcal.mol­-1.

These compounds are often used as intermediates for producing biologically active products, including drugs, herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides. The applications of pyridines and their benzo derivatives have been described over the past decade along with natural products containing the pyridine ring system. These applications are classified into three categories: biological, chemical and functional. Functional applications based on the physical properties of pyridines and their benzo-derived compounds describe colors, flavors, and ionic liquids. Chemical applications, based on the chemical properties of pyridines and benzo derivatives, describe reagents in analytical chemistry as well as catalysts and reagents in organic synthesis. Biological applications based on the environmental activity of pyridine compounds in pharmaceutical, agrochemical and veterinary products have been presented in this study.

This method is dependent on the reaction between promethazine hydrochloride and phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) in the presence of ammonium chloride to form a brownish-yellowish ion-pair complex as precipitate. The turbidity of the formed complex has measured at an angle of 0-180° through the attenuation of incident light by precipitating. The chemical and physical parameters have been studied and optimized to enhance the sensitivity for the developed method of the promethazine hydrochloride-PMA-NH4Cl system. The calibration curve of the proposed method was linear over the range 0.5-30 mmole.L-1 for both cells (Cell no.1 and Cell no.2), the detection limit for cell A = 2.1659 µg/sample and for cell B = 0.4332 µg/sample from the visual evaluation of the lowest concentration at which the analyte can be reliably detected with the correlation coefficient (r) = 0.9984, 0.9997 for cell A and cell B, respectively. For promethazine-HCl concentrations (5 and 10 mmole.L-1) for both cells (n=8), the relative standard deviation percent (RSD%) was lower than 0.5%. The method has been successfully applied for the promethazine HCl determination in two pharmaceutical medicines. A comparison was made using the standard addition curve between the newly proposed method (NAG-ADF-300-2 analyzer) and the reference methods, mainly British Pharmacopoeia (B.P), turbidimetry, and UV- spectrophotometry (λmax =249 nm) using paired t-test. It was noticed that there was no significant difference between the methods at 95% confidence level. The statistical procedures have shown that a homemade NAG/ADF/(300-2) analyzer which contains two identical detections units ( cell A and cell B) is the best choice with an excellent prolonged detection, widespread application and extra sensitive.}, keywords = {Promethazine hydrochloride,Flow injection analysis,Attenuated detection,Precipitation reaction}, url = {https://www.ajgreenchem.com/article_141626.html}, eprint = {https://www.ajgreenchem.com/article_141626_3618a12e477da09eab4f2d0f817949d4.pdf} } @article { author = {Muhiebes, Raad Muslim and Al-Tamimi, Entesar O.}, title = {Synthesis of derivatives of tetrazoline on Creatinine and study their biological activity}, journal = {Asian Journal of Green Chemistry}, volume = {5}, number = {4}, pages = {404-411}, year = {2021}, publisher = {Sami Publishing Company}, issn = {2588-5839}, eissn = {2588-4328}, doi = {10.22034/ajgc.2021.315002.1321}, abstract = {In this research study we synthesized new tetrazoline from a reaction of 2-N-arylidene amino creatinine with sodium azide and 2-N-azido acetamido creatinine.
