New Strategies for Ruthenium Catalyzed C-C Bond Formation
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Transition metal-catalyzed C-H bond activation allows direct functionalization of the ubiquitous C-H bonds in organic molecules to increase the molecular complexity. Since Murai's pioneering work in ruthenium catalyzed ...
Novel Asymmetric Approaches for Construction of Small Molecules by Cyclization and Cycloaddition
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Development of novel asymmetric and catalytic methods for synthesizing small organic
molecules containing hindered quaternary and tertiary centers is a major challenge and a
dynamic area of investigation in synthetic organic ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 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 ...
Developing Platform Chemicals from Renewable Resources
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
The Department of Energy has listed 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) as two of the twelve building blocks derived from cellulosic biomass. HMF can serve as a renewable platform for the ...
High Performance Bio-Based Thermosets for Composites and Coatings
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
In the recent decade, there has been increasing interest in using renewable feedstocks as chemical commodities for composites and coatings application. Vegetable oils are promising renewable resources due to their wide ...
Polymers and Coatings Derived From Novel Bio-Based Vinyl Ether Monomers
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
To fulfill the demand for household, industrial, light weight transportation, health, and cosmetic products etc., production of polymeric materials has been increasing every year. However, limited resource of fossil fuel ...
