Spring 2023
Sialic acid is a monosaccharide found at the non-reducing end of cell surface glycans. Among the many important roles in mammals, sialic acid commonly serves as a ligand for glycan binding proteins, such as in host self-recognition (Siglecs), response to infection (Selectins), and in viral...

Development of Rh-Catalyzed Chemoselective Z-Olefin Synthesis and Ir- and Pd-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Enantioselective Benzylation
DownloadSpring 2019
Transition metal-catalyzed bond-forming reactions are powerful strategies in modern organic synthesis, which enable various functional group transformations and cross-coupling processes in a highly chemo-, regio- and enantioselective manner. Selectivity can be achieved through the appropriate...

Despite large amounts of research investigating the mechanism and kinetics of the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction in organic solvent, very little research has been completed to investigate this mechanism or kinetic properties in aqueous solvent. Due to properties of the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction which are...
