Therefore, the design of solvent-free catalytic reaction has received considerable attention during recent times in the field of green synthesis. A solvent-free or solid state reaction may be accomplished using the reactants single or merge them in clays, zeolites, silica, alumina or other substrates. Esters, thioesters and amides are important and valuable compounds in the area of industry, medicine, pharmaceutical and heterocyclic chemistry. In this paper, various solvent-free systems to synthesize esters, thioesters and amides via the acylation of alcohols, phenols, thiols and amines are described. In this review we summarized the activities presented mainly the recent years.}, keywords = {Solvent-free,Acylation,Alcohols,Phenols,Thiols,Amines}, url = {https://www.jmchemsci.com/article_68638.html}, eprint = {https://www.jmchemsci.com/article_68638_1e9587523339a102f3a3d35f480d7847.pdf} } @article { author = {Hameed, Awais and Fatima, Gull Rida and Malik, Kainat and Muqadas, Ayesha and Fazal-ur-Rehman, M.}, title = {Scope of Nanotechnology in Cosmetics: Dermatology and Skin Care Products}, journal = {Journal of Medicinal and Chemical Sciences}, volume = {2}, number = {1}, pages = {9-16}, year = {2019}, publisher = {Sami Publishing Company (SPC)}, issn = {2651-4702}, eissn = {2651-4702}, doi = {10.26655/jmchemsci.2019.6.2}, abstract = {Women and men have been wearing cosmetics for centuries, although the styles have certainly undergone some dramatic changes over time. Cosmetics is a very vast field which has served humanity throughout the course of history.In old age, it was believed that there is no chemical product in the world that can be at all-natural. Industrialization has revolutionized the field.So, then nanotechnology is evolved and cosmetics become environmentally friendly. Different nanomaterial liposomes, solid lipid Nanoparticle, cubosomes, dendrimers etc. have advance properties for skin care. Nano emulsion is the most important part in this regard. They are widely used in gel, lotion, creams emulsions is replaced with vitamin A and its derivative for more efficient work. Sunscreen with inorganic material such as metal TiO2 and ZnO2 is better in skin care products.

In this context, benzopinacolone was found to react as a rather unusual acylating agent via a mechanism (addition/elimination) involving addition of the nucleophile (a thiosemicarbazide derivative), formation of a resulting tetrahedral adduct, and expulsion of a trityl anion moiety as leaving group, presumably through an anchimeric assistance effect by intram-olecular participation of the thioureido side-chain via hydrogen bond formation. The present incidental discovery should be considered at this level as a first inception and further work is now being directed at closely examining the detailed mechanism of this exceptional chemical pathway; in a reaction involving the unusual breaking of a carbon-carbon bond (carbon acid as leaving group) in the rate-determining step and involving the decomposition of the intermediate tetrahedral adduct to get the final unexpected N-thiobenzoyl-thiosemicarbazide.}, keywords = {Benzopinacolone,Green chemistry,N-thiobenzoyl-thiosemicarbazide,Photochemistry,Trypanocidal chemotherapeutic}, url = {https://www.jmchemsci.com/article_69027.html}, eprint = {https://www.jmchemsci.com/article_69027_5639c2a37b9cf2b4101af076433bfb07.pdf} } @article { author = {Fazal-ur-Rehman, M.}, title = {Polluted Water Borne Diseases: Symptoms, Causes, Treatment and Prevention}, journal = {Journal of Medicinal and Chemical Sciences}, volume = {2}, number = {1}, pages = {21-26}, year = {2019}, publisher = {Sami Publishing Company (SPC)}, issn = {2651-4702}, eissn = {2651-4702}, doi = {10.26655/jmchemsci.2019.6.4}, abstract = {Polluted and dirty water is very harmful for living organisms especially for health of humans.
