An environmentally benign approach for the synthesis of 2-substituted-4,6-diaryl pyrimidines using inorganic solid supports for its catalytic role as well as an energy transfer medium is described. The methodology eliminates the usage of solvent during the reaction. The reaction time is brought down from hours to minutes along with yield enhancement. The rate enhancement and high yield is attributed to the coupling of solvent free conditions with microwaves. Further, the role of base is studied in the reaction and it is concluded that microwave assisted basic alumina catalysed reaction is the best in terms of catalysis as well as reaction time and yield.

It has been reported that rare earth elements (REEs) are considerably present in coal ash. In this study, an ecofriendly sequential extraction method was developed for the effective REE recovery from coal ash and leaching wastewaters. Citrate, a weak and environmentally benign solvent that replaces acetate employed in the existing sequential extraction methods (e.g., European community bureau of reference (BCR) and Tessier methods), was found to be highly effective in leaching REEs from coal ash. Microwave-assisted thermal digestion improved the REE extraction efficiency even further, with an overall leaching rate of 70%, which is 2.54 and 3.76 times higher than the values achieved by the conventional BCR and Tessier methods, respectively. It was also confirmed that the majority of REEs was strongly bound to CaO, Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, and P₂O₅, not to SiO₂. The sequential extraction method developed in this study is expected to be used as an effective and simple recovery procedure for REEs from coal ash and remaining leaching wastewaters.

Stable crystalline 1-Benzyl-4-aza-1-azonia-bicyclo[2.2.2]octane tribromide (BABOT), can be readily synthesized from the reaction of the corresponding bromide with $HNO_3$ and aqueous KBr. Selective Oxidation of a variety of dialkyl and alkyl Aryl sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxides in high yield was achieved by this reagent in solution ($CH_3CN/H_2O$) and solvent free conditions. The reaction proceeds under neutral and mild conditions and can be carried out easily at room temperature with regeneration of BABOT. In this method purification of products is straightforward and no over oxidation to sulfone was noted.

A rapid and practical green route for N-formylation of primary and secondary amines with formic acid at room temperature under the solvent-free conditions using HEU zeolite as a heterogeneous, reusable and highly efficient catalyst is described. The process is remarkably simple and environmentally benign. Excellent chemoselectivity was observed for the conversion of primary amines in the presence of secondary amines.

An efficient access, single step and environmentally benign synthesis of a new series of pyrazole containing isoxazolines derivatives were prepared by the condensation of chalcones bearing pyrazole moiety with hydroxyl amine hydrochloride in basic condition by using polyethylene glycol-400 (PEG) as a greener reaction solvent. The advantages of the present methodology are mild reaction condition and avoidance of volatile organic solvent. Furthermore, these newly synthesized compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity against various pathogens like Escherichia coli (MTCC 2939), Salmonella typhi (MTCC 98), Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC 96), Bacillus subtilis (MTCC 441), Aspergillus niger (MTCC 281), Aspergillus flavus (MTCC 2501), Penicillium chrsogenum (MTCC 160) and Fusarium moniliformae (MTCC 156). Especially compound containing the hydroxyl group in C2-position and presence of halo (I, Br and Cl) groups as substituents at $C_3$ and $C_5$ position on the benzene nucleus showed the higher activity. Furthermore, compounds bearing methyl groups in combination with I and Br which enhanced the activity.

초임계유체공정은 고폭화약이나 추진제로 사용되는 고에너지 물질을 미세입자로 제조하기 위한 새롭고 환경친화적인 방법으로 큰 관심을 받아 왔다. 본 연구에서는 고폭화약 대상물질로서 RDX(cyclotrirnethylenetrinitramine)을 선정하여 초임계역용매 재결정공정을 이용하여 RDX를 미세입자로 제조하는 연구를 수행하였다. 제조된 입자의 크기와 형상에 미치는 초임계공정 운전변수의 영향을 관찰하였다. 본 연구에서는 RDX를 용해시키기 위한 유기용매로 N,N-dimethylformamide를 사용하였다. 초임계역용매 재결정공정에 의해 RDX 입자들의 크기는 $10\;{\mu}m$ 이하로 뚜렷하게 감소하였다. 본 연구에서 설정한 공정변수의 범위에서 재결정되는 RDX 입자들의 크기를 관찰한 결과, 313.15K, 150 bar, 그리고 주입용액에서의 RDX의 농도가 15wt%일 때 가장 작은 RDX 입자가 재결정되었다.
