Stereoselective Carbon-Carbon Bond Construction Using Indium and Bismuth: New Methods in Green Chemistry
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Selective chemical reactions that can be accomplished with minimal waste using non-toxic catalysts and reagents will allow for new greener chemical processes for future environmentally sustainable technologies. This work ... -
Stereospecific Photochemical Transformations Involving Axially Chiral Acrylanilides and a-Oxoamides
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Asymmetric photochemical transformations have been under-explored due to the ineffectiveness of conventional methodologies/reagents/catalysts (point chiral auxiliaries and inductors) that were generally employed for thermal ... -
Stereospecific Phototransformations of Atropisomeric Chromophores
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Photochemical transformations are unique strategy in synthesis that enables us to access complex and structurally diverse organic scaffolds. However, the challenges in controlling the excited-state to perform stereoselective ... -
Structural Studies of the Mechanism by Which BCL-2 and Beclin Proteins Regulate Autophagy and Apoptosis
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Autophagy and apoptosis are catabolic pathways essential for homeostasis in all eukaryotes. While autophagy usually promotes cell-survival by enabling degradation and recycling of damaged macromolecules, apoptosis is the ... -
Synthesis and Antioxidant, Anticancer, and Antimicrobial Activities of Palmityl Ester Derivative of Carnosic Acid
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Carnosic acid (CA) along with carnosol (CAR) is the strongest phenolic diterpene antioxidants (PDAs) present in rosemary plant. However, CA has low antioxidant activity in emulsion-type food system due to its polar nature. ... -
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 ... -
Visible Light Photocatalysis of N-N Bond Based Compounds
(North Dakota State University, 2016)The well-established principles of organic photochemistry, offer chemists the fundamental understanding and tools for studying light induced chemical transformations. Employing visible light for photocatalysis, one can ...
