Application

Neocuproine can be used as a ligand:      
  • In the aerobic oxidation of benzyl and allylic alcohols to corresponding carbonyl compounds using Au(I) as a catalyst.
  • To synthesize aqua(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline)NiCl2 complex, which is used as a precursor for the preparation of uniform spherical NiO nanoparticles via the thermal decomposition method.     
  • In the Zn-catalyzed allylation reactions of aldehydes with allyl boronates to prepare α-addition products with high diastereoselectivities.

[NiCl2(C14H12N2)(H2O)] complex has been synthesized from nickel chloride hexahydrate (NiCl2·6H2O) and 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmphen) as N,N-bidentate ligand. The synthesized complex was characterized by elemental analysis, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy and differential thermal/thermogravimetric analysis (TG/DTA). The complex was further confirmed

Zn(OH)2-catalyzed allylation reactions of aldehydes with allylboronates in aqueous media have been developed. In contrast to conventional allylboration reactions of aldehydes in organic solvents, the α-addition products were obtained exclusively. A catalytic cycle in which the allylzinc species was generated

S-nitrosylation of proteins serves an important role in regulating diverse cellular processes including signal transduction, DNA repair, and neurotransmission. Identification of S-nitrosylation sites is crucial for understanding the significance of this post-translational modification (PTM) in modulating the function of a

A low-cost optical sensor using an immobilized chromogenic redox reagent was devised for measuring the total antioxidant level in a liquid sample without requiring sample pretreatment. The reagent, copper(II)-neocuproine (Cu(II)-Nc) complex, was immobilized onto a cation-exchanger film of Nafion, and
