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. ... -
Palladium-Catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling Reaction of Aromatic Esters and Aromatic Diesters with Arylboronic Acids
(North Dakota State University, 2020)The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions for the functionalization of the ester bond provides a significant overall improvement in the catalytic system as compared to aryl halides/pseudo-halides electrophilic ... -
Regioselective and Enantioselective Nitrone Cycloadditions to Alkynones.
(North Dakota State University, 2010)There has been a need in agriculture, medicine, and organic chemistry for enantiopure isoxazolines. A direct method for their synthesis is from the cycloaddition of 1,3-dipoles and alkynes. Alkynones are difficult ... -
Supramolecular Functionalization of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) possess extraordinary mechanical strength, thermal and electrical conductivity. These properties make them very attractive in many applications in the fields of nanotechnology, ... -
Synthesis and Applications of Dialdehydes
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Due to their reactivity and ease of functional group interconversions, aldehydes have wide-ranging applications in polymer synthesis, such as polyacetals, epoxy resins, and polyurethanes. Recently, room temperature synthesis ... -
Synthesis and Photophysics of Platinum(II) Terdentate and Bidentate Complexes.
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Platinum(ll) terdentate and bidentate complexes possess square-planar d8 configuration. The moderate metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (1MLCT) absorption, 3MLCT emission, and broadband excited-state absorption are the ... -
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 ... -
VIP Induces Snail1, A Master EMT Regulator: Upregulation in A375 Cancer Cells
(North Dakota State University, 2021)VIP is neurotransmitter with pleiotropic functions in mammals. It is expressed by a large number of tissues, including the CNS, PNS, innate and adaptive immune systems. VIP has two endogenous G-protein coupled receptors, ...
