Combining Organocatalysis with Transitionmetal Catalysis
Mulpuri, Naresh Babu (Oklahoma State University, 2014-07-01)The use of transition metals or small organic molecules established as catalysts powerful technique in organic synthesis. In recent years combining transition metal with organocatalysis (dual catalysis) has gained considerable ... -
Cross-couplings of unconventional electrophiles with earth-abundant metals
Chenniappan, Vinoth Kumar (2019-05)Transition metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are a reliable and robust approach forperforming bond formation with high selectivity, predictable connectivity patterns, and versatilityto form C-C and C-heteroatom bonds ... -
Development and design of nanomaterial reagents in conjunction with new methods for their synthetic applications
Kwaramba, Farai Brian (2014-07)This Ph.D. deals with the integration of nanotechnology with organometallic/ organic synthetic technologies. The first part of this research sought to develop a library of novel molecular gears programmed to exploit ... -
Development of cross coupling reactions with earth abundant metals
Silwal, Sajan (2016-12)The ability to prepare complex molecules has been advanced and enabled by crosscoupling reactions as exemplified by the 2010 Nobel Prize being awarded to the progenitors of palladium catalyzed cross-coupling technology. ... -
Development of novel photocatalytic and nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions for the facile access of functionalized multifluorinated arenes
Senaweera, Sameera M. (2017-07)Functionalized multifluorinated arenes are an important class of molecules, because the incorporation of fluorine can alter or enhance the properties of a molecule. Since there have been no naturally occurring fluoroaromatics ... -
Reactive azolyl intermediates: Generation via photocatalysis and synthetic utility
Arora, Amandeep (2017-12)We have conducted a systematic study of photocatalyst-mediated electron transfer from amines to 2-haloazoles with a particular interest in the nature, reactivity, and utility of the intermediates that can be generated. ... -
Uphill catalysis: Generation of higher energetic geometrical isomers of (cyclo)alkenes using visible light photocatalysis and their utilization in chemical syntheses
Singh, Kamaljeet (2018-07)We have performed a systematic study of utilizing excited state surfaces to promote endergonic reactions. As such, catalysis of potential endergonic reactions has not been considered since thermal catalysis cannot promote ...
