Laser - Naproxen

Using a developed method, laser irradiation of colloidal mixtures of the three metals, these authors dispersed Au/Ag/Pd nanoparticles with average diameters 4.4 1.5 nm. These tri-metallic nanoparticles were assessed for activity in the synthesis of nabumetone [4-(6-methoxy-2-naphthalenyl)-2-butanone], a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that has greater activity than aspirin and is comparable to naproxen and indomethacin. The 0.45-mol% Au/Ag/Pd was sufficient to catalyse the coupling of the 3-buten-2-ol... 

Figure 2.10 Transient absorption spectra obtained on laser flash photolysis at 266 nm of naproxen (0.1 mM, pH 7.0). The spectra were recorded 0.02 ( ), 0.26 (o), and 1.29 psec ( ) after the flash. (From Moore, D.E. and Chappuis, P.P., Photochem. Photobiol., 47 173-181, 1988.)...
