Four types of microchannel reactors were built, using a combination of smallest alumina-tubes commercially available, for testing the feasibility of applying high-temperature microchannel reactors to the ammonolysis of S ...
Ambifunctional axially chiral 2,2',6,6'-tetrasubstituted biphenyls containing nucleophilic (or basic) functional groups juxtaposed with hydrogen-bond donors were synthesized and their properties studied. Applications for ...
Polybenzimidazoles were synthesized from 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) and dicarboxylic acids. The polymerizations using the dicarboxylic acid monomers were carried out in polyphosphoric acid (PPA) and phosphorus pentoxide ...
Polybenzimidazoles were synthesized from 3, 3', 4, 4'-tetraminobiphenyl
(diaminobenzidine, or DAB) with orthoesters, carboxylic acid derivatives (an ester and
an acid) and with m-benzenedialdehyde. The products were of ...
This thesis is separated into two parts: the synthesis of azaspiracids-1 and -2, and the synthesis of the G-O domain of maitotoxin. The early history of the azaspiracids, from the isolation of the molecule by the Satake ...
A synthesis plan for the marine toxin azaspiracid-1 is presented. Disconnection at the C₂₀-C₂₁ bond breaks the molecule into two halves: the C₁-C₂₀ fragment (ABCD-ring domain) and the C₂₁-C₄₀ fragment (EFGHI-ring domain) ...
The two naturally occurring cyclopropene fatty acids, sterculic
and malvalic, have been synthesized. The cyclopropene ring was
made by inserting a methylene unit into an acetylenic linkage.
The synthesis of methyl ste ...
The primary goal of this thesis is to synthesize titanium dioxide nanorods using a continuous flow microreactor. Titania powder, one of the most important particulate materials is used for many purposes owing to its exce ...
Dendrimers are nanoscale macromolecules that have highly branched, core-shell structures. Higher generation dendrimers have close-packed peripheral functional groups and a hollow interior. The chemistry of the core and t ...
This study looks at the properties of glycerol/citric acid as they are affected by the
length and temperature of the bake used to facilitate the condensation reaction that creates
the polymer. In particular, the len ...
Semiconducting materials which can be ambipolarly doped are highly desirable in many electronics applications, including use as solar cell materials. SnZrS₃ is being investigated for the possibility of ambipolar doping, ...
