The present study aims to discuss the synthesis of various spiropyrano- oxoindole derivatives through a reaction involving isatin, malononitrile, and a CH-acid source in the presence of vitamin B12. Eco-friendly solvents were utilized to synthesize the spiro-pyranooxoindole, resulting in high yields of all synthesized heterocyclic systems. Isatin and malononitrile were reacted with β-dicarbonyls as CH-acids in the presence of vitamin B12. The results indicate that vitamin B12 is highly effective in generating spiro-pyranooxoindole derivatives. All synthesized compounds closely match previously reported compounds. In conclusion, a new and effective method for synthesizing spiro-pyrano-oxoindole has been demonstrated using vitamin B12 as a biocatalyst.

Being a greenhouse gas, methane is a threat to biodiversity. Hence, the utilization of methane by converting it into a valuable chemical like methanol is one of the most promising re-actions. To solve that problem, a large number of studies have been performed on methane-to-methanol conversion (MTM process). Still, to date, the production of methanol from methane on an industry scale is a crucial challenge. After a thorough study, in this review article, only those reported methods, which produce a satisfactory yield of methanol using a large variety of cata-lysts like natural, heterogeneous, non-thermal plasma, nanoparticles fixed in solid bed, etc., have been briefly discussed. To investigate minutely, the reason behind the inefficiency of each type of catalyst in producing methanol on a large scale has been analyzed, and a comparison among the activities of different catalysts has been made. Herein, catalysts with comparatively better ef-ficiency under ambient temperature and pressure have also been highlighted. With the hope of producing methanol on a large scale, some basic concepts of future planning strategies for de-signing more suitable reaction systems are also proposed in this study

The catalytic activity of metallic nanomaterials depends on their surface morphology. A widely known method is the laser synthesis of metal nanostructures by depositing on dielectric surfaces from aqueous solutions containing metal complexes. The article analyzes the factors that favor the production of conductive, catalytic, and sensory-active deposits by laser method. It is shown that the two main factors is the presence of a large number of charged defects on heterophase surfaces and the structure of metal-containing complexes in solution. This is typical for mono- and bimetallic alloys, the components of which interact with the laser beams according to the autocatalytic type. Using the example of laser deposition from solutions of Co, Ni, Fe, Zn, and Ag salts with homo- and heterophase dielectrics, the sensory and catalytic properties of the deposits are compared by impedance spectroscopy and voltammetry. It has been shown that heterophase precipitation significantly enhances the catalysis response. It is known that the highest catalytic activity exhibits nanostructured and highly porous materials with a large specific surface area and materials containing surface heterogeneity in the form of charged acid-base centers. Such materials are necessary for the creation of new catalysts for organic synthesis and for the creation of new sensor materials for enzyme-free microbiosensors. Active development of new methods for the synthesis of such materials is underway. But not all of them give the expected result. Laser synthesis methods have the best prospects, including the method of laser-induced metal deposition. This is the laser synthesis of metal nanostructures by depositing dielectric surfaces from aqueous solutions containing metal complexes. Аrticle analyzes the factors that favor the production of conductive, catalytic, and sensory-active deposits by laser method.

金属纳米材料的催化活性取决于其表面形态。一种广为人知的方法是从含有金属复合物的水溶液中通过激光在电介质表面沉积合成金属纳米结构。文章分析了有利于用激光方法生产导电、催化和感官活性沉积物的因素。研究表明,两个主要因素是异相表面存在大量带电缺陷和溶液中含金属复合物的结构。这是单金属和双金属合金的典型特征,其成分与激光束的相互作用属于自催化类型。以具有同相和异相电介质的钴、镍、铁、锌和银盐溶液的激光沉积为例,通过阻抗光谱法和伏安法比较了沉积物的感官和催化特性。众所周知,催化活性最高的是具有大比表面积的纳米结构和高孔隙材料,以及含有以带电酸碱中心为形式的表面异质性的材料。这种材料对于制造新的有机合成催化剂和制造新的无酶微生物传感器材料是必不可少的。目前正在积极开发合成此类材料的新方法。激光合成法前景最好,其中包括激光诱导金属沉积法。这是从含有金属复合物的水溶液中沉积电介质表面,用激光合成金属纳米结构的方法。文章分析了有利于用激光方法生产导电、催化和感官活性沉积物的因素。研究表明,两个主要因素是异相表面存在大量带电缺陷和溶液中含金属复合物的结构。这是单金属和双金属合金的典型特征,其中的成分根据自催化类型与激光束相互作用。以具有同相和异相电介质的 Co、Ni、Fe、Zn 和 Ag 盐溶液中的激光沉积为例,通过阻抗光谱法和伏安法比较了沉积物的感官和催化特性。研究表明,激光沉积反应具有动态模式下的自催化机制。自催化的结果可用于在固定模式下创建葡萄糖微生物传感器,以及在动态模式下创建激光提炼稀有金属和氢能的技术。

In recent years, bimetallic nanoparticles have gained remarkable attention due to their excellent physical and chemical properties. Especially, bimetallic nanoparticles are found to be highly efficient as catalysts in many important organic transformations. In recent years, bimetallic nanoparticles have gained remarkable attention due to their excellent physical and chemical properties. Especially, bimetallic nanoparticles are found to be highly efficient as catalyst in many important organic transformations. The objective of the present work involves green synthesis of Au-Ni bimetallic nanoparticles using plant extract as the bio-reductant and to evaluate their catalytic efficiency in oxidation of alcohols. The experiment involves a simple and eco-friendly protocol for synthesis of Au-Ni bi-metallic as well as their corresponding monometallic nanoparticles that involves the use of aqueous fruit seed extract of Coccinia grandis(L.) Voigt as the bio-reductant and tannic acid as the bio-stabilizer. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by using XRD, TEM, FTIR, TGA etc., and their catalytic activity was evaluated for oxidation of alcohols. The synthesized bimetallic nanoparticles have shown excellent catalytic activity towards aqueous phase oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes under ambient reaction conditions. Furthermore, the results have revealed better effective performance of the bimetallic nanoparticles over the corresponding monometallic nanoparticles of gold and nickel, establishing the synergic influence of the two metals. Another attractive feature of this work is that the Au-Ni bimetallic nano-particles could be recycled and reused up to four catalytic cycles without any significant decline in product yield. The green synthesized bimetallic Au-Ni nanoparticles have shown excellent catalytic activity toward the oxidation of alcohols in aqueous media under ambient reaction conditions. In addition, the nanoparticles are found to be successfully recyclable upto four catalytic cycles.
