A novel approach towards the stereoselective synthesis of inositols and its application in the synthesis of biologically important molecules
(University of St Andrews, 2016-06-22) - ThesisMyo-inositol is ubiquitous in nature and is found at the structural core of a diverse range of biologically important derivatives, including phosphatidylinositols, inositol phosphates and mycothiol. The synthesis of ... -
A new reversible 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and its application in dynamic covalent chemistry
(University of St Andrews, 2016-05) - ThesisIn the past decades, chemists have designed and investigated artificial self-replicating molecules. A self-replicating molecule is one that can assemble its building blocks through molecular recognition, the building ... -
Structural and functional studies of porins from pathogenic bacteria
(University of St Andrews, 2018) - ThesisMulti-drug resistant bacteria have become a real threat to public health worldwide. Gram-negative bacteria, in particular, have shown high level of antibiotic resistance due to the presence of an additional membrane, known ... -
Density functional theory investigations of molecules on surfaces : from nano-electronics to catalysis
(University of St Andrews, 2017) - ThesisIn this thesis, a wide breadth of topics related to the field of surface science are addressed using density functional theory (DFT). Specifically, five studies with relevance to molecular electronics and heterogeneous ... -
Nickel- and palladium-catalysed deprotonative cross-couplings
(University of St Andrews, 2017) - ThesisTransition metal-catalysed cross coupling chemistry is a valuable tool for synthetic organic chemistry, enabling the preparation of compounds of great interest. The catalytic metal of choice is usually palladium, which ...
