Abstract A sequence of new 5‐aryl/heteroaryl‐2,2‐dimethyl‐1,3‐dioxane‐4,6‐dione derivatives were synthesized by condensing Meldrum's acid and triethyl orthoformate with differently substituted aromatic heteroaromatic amines in good to excellent yields. The chemical structures characterized spectroscopic techniques the entities evaluated for chymotrypsin urease inhibition. Interestingly, among derivatives, compound containing 5‐nitropyridin‐2‐yl ring exhibited dual inhibition activities IC 50...

Thermally stable, high performance sulfonated copolyimide adsorbents [OBM (ODPA+BDSA·TEA+MDA) and FBM (6FDA+BDSA·TEA+MDA)] having excellent adsorption ability were prepared via a two-step thermal imidization reaction. By the introduction of hydrophilic sulfonic acid groups into polyimide backbone, material's hydrophilicity was improved. The anionic sulfonate group bears strong affinity toward heavy metal ions. Improvement in polymer enhances ion capacity due to feasible access sites. Atomic...
