Spring 2010
The first chapter of this thesis represents the continued development of a general method for the formation of benzo-fused N-heterocycles by formal radical cyclization onto benzene rings. Important stages in this process involve 1) the copper-mediated coupling of various amino alcohols to...

Development of isotope labeling liquid chromatography mass spectrometry for metabolome analysis
DownloadSpring 2011
As the endpoint of the “omics” cascade, metabolomics has attracted much attention in the discovery of diagnostic or prognostic disease biomarkers, and as a powerful tool to understand biological and biochemical processes and mechanisms. The objective of my research was to develop a highly...

Quantum Chemical Investigations of Structural and Photophysical Properties of Emissive RNA Nucleobase Analogues
DownloadFall 2017
The photostability of nucleic acid constituents is crucial in maintaining the integrity of our genetic code. This is achieved by the essential mechanism of ultrafast radiationless decay of the singlet excited state to the electronic ground state of nucleobases. While this mechanism provides...

Preparation of Optically Enriched Allylic Heterocyclic Organoboronates and Their Application in the Efficient Synthesis of Biologically Active Compounds
DownloadFall 2014
Organic chemistry is, has been, and will remain, a reliable tool for creating nearly any target molecule. Modern organic synthesis, however, is leaning towards the themes of efficiency, selectivity and strategy. In the midst of a potential energy crisis and global resource shortage, the primary...
