Photocatalytic C(sp³)–C(sp²) radical-polar crossover cross-coupling of styrenyl boronic acids
(2023-11-29) - ThesisOrganoboron reagents are widely used in organic chemistry due to their versatile reactivity, ubiquity, stability, and low cost. They are commonly employed as coupling partners in cross-coupling reactions, such as the ... -
Isothiourea-catalyzed enantioselective reactions of imines with α,β-unsaturated esters employing α,β- unsaturated acyl ammonium intermediates
(2023-11-29) - ThesisThe use of isothioureas as Lewis base organocatalysts has been widely studied by the Smith group and shown to be effective in various Michael addition and annulation reactions, which is associated with the formation of the ... -
Enantioselective fluorination of bioactive amines and succinic acids for selected bioassays
(2023-11-29) - ThesisSince its isolation by Henri Moissan in 1886, fluorine has garnered a growing interest within many fields of chemistry. This attention is a result of the unique properties of fluorine, explained by it being the most ... -
Mechanochemistry for sustainable synthesis of framework materials
(University of St Andrews, 2022-06-15) - ThesisThe following work presents the successful application of mechanochemical methods in the synthesis of framework materials, namely zeolites and sodium carboxylate coordination polymers. Common benefits of employing mechanical ... -
