Fall 2014
Carbohydrate–protein interactions play key roles in a range of biological processes. Noticeable advancements have been made in understanding the features associated with the recognition of pyranosides (six-membered ring sugars) by proteins. In contrast, similar detailed studies about the...

Rosette Nanotubes (RNTs) are a class of self-assembled organic nanomaterials generated through the spontaneous hierarchical organization of guanine-cytosine (G˄C) bases with a built-in self-assembling ability. Driven by non-covalent intermolecular forces in solution, G˄C bases self-assemble into...

Asymmetric Synthesis of Carbocycles by Intramolecular Conjugate Displacement & Synthetic Studies on Sorbicillactone A
DownloadSpring 2014
The first chapter of this thesis describes an intramolecular conjugate displacement (ICD) for the asymmetric synthesis of carbocycles using a carbon nucleophile. The precursors for ICD were synthesized by Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction between (5R)-5-(l-menthyloxy)-2(5H)-furanone and aldehydes,...

Cationic surfactant based coatings for protein separations and control of electroosmotic flow in capillary electrophoresis
DownloadFall 2014
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a fast and high efficiency separation technique based on the differential migration of charged species in an electric field. CE is useful for the separation of a wide range of analytes from small ions to large biomolecules. However, CE separations of proteins are...

Design, Development and Mechanistic Study of Ruthenium-Based Catalysts for the Hydrogenation of Imides and Amides
DownloadSpring 2014
Prior mechanistic studies demonstrate that trans-[RuH2((R)-BINAP)((R,R)-dpen)] is a remarkably active carbonyl reducing agent at low-temperatures in THF-d8. This dissertation describes the monohydrogenation of cyclic meso-imides using this catalyst and related complexes under mild conditions....
