Synthesis of novel ambifunctional atropisomeric 2,2',6,6'-tetrasubstituted biphenyls and investigation of their properties and organocatalytic activity

Creator:

Sephton, Mark Alan

Abstract:

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 the prepared biaryls as potential organocatalysts for enantioselective carbon-carbon bond forming reactions were examined. Processes investigated included: aldol, Michael, nitroaldol (Henry), and Baylis-Hillman reactions. The novel amidoamine...

Koesdjojo, Myra T.

Abstract:

The concept of reducing laboratory operations in scale such that they fit on a microfluidic chip has been met with great enthusiasm. Lab-on-a-chip devices promise to be cost effective to operate due to reduced reagent consumption, have the potential to offer shorter analysis times due to their short path lengths,...
