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...

Isolation of Reactive Bonding Environments in the Main Group via New Donor-Acceptor and Kinetic Stabilization Pathways
DownloadSpring 2013
The research presented in this Thesis is focused on the synthesis of highly reactive molecules featuring Group 14 elements with the aim of discovering new bonding environments which can be translated into new forms of reactivity. Kinetic stabilization with the use of sterically demanding ligands...

Spring 2017
The work in this thesis describes advancements made towards developing main group catalysts and designing new ligands. N-Heterocyclic imine (NHI) ligands were used to support novel boron, silicon and germanium complexes. The new boron compounds demonstrated the ability to dehydrogenate...

Spring 2023
The de novo synthesis of carbohydrates is the preparation of sugars from achiral precursors using asymmetric catalysis. This approach can enable the synthesis of targets that are difficult to achieve using the chiral pool. Furan derivatives are widely used precursors in de novo strategies, via a...

Optogenetic control of ER Ca2+ release and development of a mammalian cell-based library screening platform for directed evolution
DownloadSpring 2023
Life on the earth’s surface is bathed in the white light of the Sun. Biologists have been harnessing light as a research tool to understand and manipulate many biological processes inside the cells. Optogenetics — genetically encoded proteins that enable optical visualization or manipulation of...
