Sonochemistry - The Use of Ultrasonic Waves in Synthetic Organic Chemistry

Lemon Juice as a Natural Catalyse for Synthesis of Shiff’s base: A Green Chemistry Approach

“…Lemon juice is a green alternative to hazardous solvents and natural catalyst for synthesis of Schiff bases. [10,11] A Schiff base is a compound with the general structure R2C=NR' (R' ≠ H) [12]. The formation of carbon-nitrogen double bond plays important role in organic synthesis.…”

Gene Silencing by siRNA Nanoparticles Synthesized via Sonochemical Method

“…Therefore sonochemistry [13] offers an alternative synthetic pathway for conversion of RNA molecules, without chemical structure modification, into a dense RNA nanoparticles. The sonochemicallyinduced assembly of nanoparticles [14][15][16] from siRNA involves cooperative interaction of individual RNA molecules that assemble in a predefined manner to form a larger three-dimensional structure, which size and composition are precisely controlled. Moreover, the sonochemical siRNA nanoparticulation stabilize siRNA molecules.…”

A Facile and Green Synthesis of “5-(3-methyl-7-substituted-4H-1, 4-benzothiazin-2-yl)-4-aryl-4H-1, 2, 4-triazole-3-thiols” under Ultrasound Irradiation

“…Ultrasonic assisted organic synthesis as a green synthetic approach is a powerful technique that is being used more and more to accelerate organic reactions. [7][8][9] It can be extremely efficient and it is applicable to a broad range of practical synthesis. The notable features of ultrasound approach are to enhance reaction rates, formation of purer products in high yields, easier manipulation and considered a processing aid in terms of energy conservation and waste minimization which compared with traditional methods.…”
