Nitrosothiols as no-donor drugs: Synthesis, mechanistic studies, chemical stability, pharmacological and physiological activity
(University of St Andrews, 1996) - ThesisS-Nitrosothiols (RSNO) are an important class of NO-donor drugs. They have been used clinically and occur naturally where they may have a role in several biological and physiological processes in the human body. The medical ... -
Modification of polydienes via homogenous catalysis
(University of St Andrews, 1998) - ThesisOur investigations into the synthesis of polyketones have involved the catalytic functionalisation of polydienes with particular emphasis on routes via a polyepoxide and a polyalcohol. Initially, a route via the polyepoxide ... -
The reaction between toluene and deuterium catalysed by some metals of group VIII
(University of St Andrews, 1964) - ThesisCatalysis action is usually held to be preceeded by some form of chemical interaction of one reactant, or of both, with the catalyst. Toluene has certain distinctive features from this point of view. The carbon-hydrogen ... -
The thermal reaction of toluene and iodine and some related processes
(University of St Andrews, 1957) - ThesisThe work reported in this thesis arose from some observations made by R.B. Cundall¹ in the laboratories at St Andrews while he was investigating the pyrolysis of methyl iodide. An attempt to use toluene as a radical acceptor ... -
Indolizines: with special reference to the action of electrophilic reagents
(University of St Andrews, 1962) - ThesisIndolizine was first synthesised by Scholts¹ in 1912 who proposed at that time the presently accepted ring structure (1). A number of alternative names and systems of numbering have been suggested for the heterocycle. These ...
