Benign by design: catalyst-free in-water, on-water green chemical methodologies in organic synthesis

Manoj B. Gawande, +4 more
- 28 May 2013 - 
TL;DR: Various named reactions, multi-component reactions and the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds are discussed including the use of various energy input systems such as microwave- and ultrasound irradiation, among others.
Journal ArticleDOI

Solvent-free and catalysts-free chemistry: a benign pathway to sustainability.

Manoj B. Gawande, +4 more
- 01 Jan 2014 - 
TL;DR: An overview of benign reactions through solvent- and catalyst-free (SF-CF) chemistry and a critical perspective on emerging synergies between SF-CF organic reactions are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biocompatible Polyurea Dendrimers with pH-Dependent Fluorescence†

Rita B. Restani, +5 more
- 21 May 2012 - 
TL;DR: PURE dendrimers are a new family of water-soluble blue photoluminescent biocompatible and biodegrad-able “green” bifunctional d endrimers that emerge as powerful nanotools.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnetically recyclable magnetite–ceria (Nanocat-Fe-Ce) nanocatalyst – applications in multicomponent reactions under benign conditions

Manoj B. Gawande, +7 more
- 29 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a magnetite nanoparticle-supported ceria catalyst (Nanocat-Fe-Ce) has been successfully prepared by a simple impregnation method and was characterized by XRD, SIMS, FEG-SEM-EDS, and TEM.
Journal ArticleDOI

Natural melanin: a potential pH-responsive drug release device.

Marco Araújo, +6 more
- 20 Jul 2014 - 
TL;DR: Drug release from melanin shows a strong pH dependency, which allied to its biocompatibility and lack of cytotoxicity envisages its potential application as nanocarrier in formulations for colon and intestine targeted drug delivery.
