A study of reactions of the nitroprusside ion with some functional groups of clinical significance
(University of St Andrews, 1988) - ThesisThe work described in this thesis represents an attempt to understand further the mode of action and metabolism of the hypotensive agent sodium nitroprusside (Na²[Feᴵᴵ(CN)₅NO]). The nitrosyl and cyanide ligands have been ... -
Synthetic approaches to imidazo [4,5-b] and [4,5-c]pyridine-1 and/or 3-oxides
(University of St Andrews, 1982) - ThesisIn Chapter 1, the syntheses of some known heterocyclic-N-oxides viz. purine-N-oxides, benzotriazole-N-oxides, benzimidazole-N-oxides and imidazopyridine-N-oxides, are discussed in varying degrees of depth. Some of the ... -
Synthetic applications of flash vacuum pyrolysis over magnesium
(University of St Andrews, 1991) - ThesisThe thermal reaction over activated magnesium of some 120 organic substrates has been investigated under flash vacuum pyrolysis(FVP) conditions. The activation was achieved by freshly resublimed Grignard grade magnesium ... -
Production of alkyl lactate esters by the alkoxycarbonylation of vinyl acetate
(University of St Andrews, 2005) - ThesisThe methoxycarbonylation of vinyl acetate to methyl 2 and 3- (acetoxy)methylpropanoate has been studied using a variety of bidentate phosphine ligands in the presence of a palladium precursor and acid. In some cases (Bu ... -
Synthesis, characterisation and catalytic applications of mesocaged solids
(University of St Andrews, 2003) - ThesisThe synthesis of mesoporous materials has been investigated using a variety of liquid crystal surfactant systems as structure directing agents. Syntheses have been conducted in acid and basic media and at a variety of ...
