Noey, Elizabeth L., Jiménez-Osés, Gonzalo, Clive, Derrick J. L., Houk, K. N.
Intramolecular conjugate displacement (ICD) reactions, developed by the Clive group, form carbocycles and cyclic amines by intramolecular nucleophilic attack on a Michael acceptor with an allylic leaving group. Quantum mechanical investigations with density functional theory show that ICDs...

Conversion of protein-rich biomass waste into value-added industrial products via chemical cross-linking reactions was explored. Two types of cross-linking reagents were investigated: dialdehydes and epoxy resins. Reaction chemistry was the main focus of this investigation and the main reaction...

The kinetics of the thermal decomposition of Athabasca vacuum residue (AVR) has been studied by thermogravimetric analysis. Three heating rates of 0.5, 10 and 25 K/min were used to investigate the consistency of kinetic parameters. The Weibull and Gaussian distribution functions were found to be...
