In this study, sodium alginate was extracted from Sargassum algae, collected from coastal waters of Bushehr, Persian Gulf, Iran and used as a stabilizing and wrapping agent for CuO nanoparticles. The synthesized nanocomposite was characterized by some spectroscopic and microscopic techniques, such as IR, XRD, Uv-vis, BET, BJH, zeta potential, SEM, TEM, HR-TEM, and XPS. The antibacterial effects of the CuO-alginate nanocomposite against some bacteria, isolated from a burn wound, were evaluated. The results showed that this nanocomposite had better antibacterial effects than its components onPseudomonas aeruginosaATCC 27853,Staphylococcus aureusATCC 12600,Streptococcus pyogenesATCC 19615, andStaphylococcus epidermidisATCC 49461. Among these,Staphylococcus aureusATCC 12600 was the most sensitive one to this nanocomposite, with the lowest minimum inhibitory concentration (2.08 mg mL?1) observed. Moreover, the synthesized nanocomposite showed good catalytic activity in the oxidative coupling of carboxylic acids withN,N-dialkylformamides toward the synthesis of amides.

A magnetite-reduced graphene oxide-supported CuO nanocomposite (rGO/Fe3O4-CuO) was preparedviaa facile chemical method and characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, vibrating-sample magnetometry (VSM), and thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. The catalytic activity of the rGO/Fe3O4-CuO nanocomposite was probed in the direct oxidative amidation reaction of methylarenes with free amines. Various aromatic and aliphatic amides were prepared efficiently at room temperature from cheap raw chemicals usingtert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as a “green” oxidant and low-toxicity TBAI in water. This method combines the oxidation of methylarenes and amide bond formation into a single operation. Moreover, the synthesized nanocomposites can be separated from the reaction mixtures using an external magnet and reused in six consecutive runs without a noticeable decrease in the catalytic activity.
Cobalt-catalysed C–H methylation for late-stage drug diversification

The magic methyl effect is well acknowledged in medicinal chemistry, but despite its significance, accessing such analogues via derivatization at a late stage remains a pivotal challenge. In an effort to mitigate this major limitation, we here present a strategy for the cobalt-catalysed late-stage C–H methylation of structurally complex drug molecules. Enabling broad applicability, the transformation relies on a boron-based methyl source and takes advantage of inherently present functional groups to guide the C–H activation. The relative reactivity observed for distinct classes of functionalities were determined and the sensitivity of the transformation towards a panel of common functional motifs was tested under various reaction conditions. Without the need for prefunctionalization or postdeprotection, a diverse array of marketed drug molecules and natural products could be methylated in a predictable manner. Subsequent physicochemical and biological testing confirmed the magnitude with which this seemingly minor structural change can affect important drug properties.
