(2017-03-29) - Journal articleA mechanistic study of the isothiourea-catalysed enantioselective [2,3]-rearrangement of allylic ammonium ylides is described. Reaction kinetic analyses using 19F NMR and density functional theory computations have elucidated ... -
The catalytic mechanism of the marine-derived macrocyclase PatGmac
(2016-09-01) - Journal articleCyclic peptides are a class of compounds with high therapeutic potential, possessing bioactivities including antitumor and antiviral (including anti-HIV). Despite their desirability, efficient design and production of these ... -
Catalytic stereoselective [2,3]-rearrangement reactions
(2015) - Journal article[2,3]-Sigmatropic rearrangement processes of allylic ylides or their equivalents can be applied to a variety of different substrates and generate products of wide interest and applicability to organic synthesis. This review ... -
Catalytic synthesis of organophosphate plastics additives from white phosphorus
(University of St Andrews, 2011-11-22) - ThesisTriaryl phosphates were synthesized from white phosphorus and phenols in aerobic conditions and in the presence of iron catalysts and iodine. Full conversion to phosphates was achieved without the use of chlorine or ... -
Catastrophe versus instability for the eruption of a toroidal solar magnetic flux rope
(2014-07-01) - Journal articleThe onset of a solar eruption is formulated here as either a magnetic catastrophe or as an instability. Both start with the same equation of force balance governing the underlying equilibria. Using a toroidal flux rope in ... -
