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 ...
