Application of Metallocarbene Decomposed from Diazoesters with Organic Azides and 1,2,3-Triazoles
DownloadSpring 2016
Metallocarbenes, in situ generated from catalytic decomposition of diazocarbonyl compounds, contain only 6 electrons at carbon center, therefore are highly electrophilic. Over the years, the metallocarbene intermediates have been continuously explored as a versatile tool toward C-C and C-X bond...

Synthesis of porphyrin-based multimeric fluorescent compounds and studies towards the formation of cis-anti-cis linear triquinane
DownloadFall 2011
Prion diseases are life-threatening diseases found in many mammals, including humans, and there is still no effective vaccine, treatment or therapy. In Chapter 1, a concise and effective synthetic route was reported to synthesize a library of porphyrin-based multimeric fluorescent compounds with...

Synthesis, biological evaluation, and screening of 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol derivatives towards selective targeting and imaging of GLUT5 transporter protein
DownloadFall 2022
The solute carrier (SLC) family of membrane proteins is responsible for the internalization of a variety of essential small molecule compounds such as amino acids, monosaccharides, neurotransmitters, vitamins, as well as many inorganic ions. In recent years, these proteins have been recognized as...
