Phenobarbital was investigated as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 M HCl solution by weight loss and quantum chemical calculations. Phenobarbital showed 95 % inhibition efficiency at concentration of 200 ppm. The adsorption of the inhibitor followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The quantum chemical calculations were applied to elucidate adsorption pattern of inhibitor molecules on steel surface.
Xanthones are one of the biggest classes of compounds in natural product chemistry. A number of xanthones have been isolated from natural sources of higher plants such as fungi, ferns, and lichens. Synthetic analogs of xanthones have shown a large number of pharmacological properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetics, antihistamine, antitumoral, antiulcer, and algicidal. Moreover, they also find usages in photodynamic therapy, laser technology, and dyes. This review lays stress on various solvents, catalyst and synthetic route for synthesis of xanthones, benzoxanthones analogs. The review has also focused on the classifications of xanthone as well as extensively studied biological properties of the xanthones and benzoxanthones analogs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
