Synthesis of Precursors to Non-isocyanate Polyurethanes
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Biobased diamines are excellent precursors for the synthesis of non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs). We have prepared several biobased diamines using three different reactions for their synthesis. In the first method, we ... -
Achiral Templates in Asymmetric Catalysis: Applications in Construction of All Carbon Quaternary Centers
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Conjugated olefins are readily available and inexpensive starting materials and their functionalization offers a rapid access to many important building blocks for organic synthesis. The functionalization of these olefins ... -
Exploitation of Biomass for Applications in Sustainable Materials Science
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Biorefinery may be defined as the process of accessing chemical commodities from living systems; consequently, biomass becomes the antecedent for renewable resources through biorefinery. Advantages to this process over ... -

Synthesis and Utilization of Si6H12 and Si6X12 (X = Cl, Br) for the Generation of Novel Silicon Materials
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Cyclohexasilane (Si6H12) and its derivatives, Si6X12 (X = Cl, Br), have chemical and physical properties different from linear and branched polysilanes, thus creating interest in their use as starting materials for a variety ... -
Novel Synthetic Routes to Complex Amines: the Catalytic Hydroamination of Alkynes and Hydroimination of Allenes
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Amines are valuable targets for synthesis in contexts of both research and industrial applications. This work proposes two atom-economical methods—hydroamination (HAM) and hydroimination (HIM)—as C-N bond formation strategies. ... -
Late Transition Metal-Catalyst Development for Alkyne Coupling Reactions
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Alkynes are versatile and valuable synthetic precursors in a variety of organic transformations and have found tremendous applications in materials science and pharmaceutical chemistry. In recent years, there has been a ... -
