Synthesis and Coordination Chemistry of Azulene- and Ferrocene-Based Isocyanide Ligands
(University of Kansas, 2011-08-31)Nonbenzenoid aromatic isocyanides feature attractive structural and electronic properties for the potential design of optoelectronic devices. Prior to the work of Barybin and coworkers, examples of nonbenzenoid isocyanides ... -
Therapeutic Protein and Glycoprotein Production, Optimization, and Analysis Methods
(University of Kansas, 2010-05-31)Proteins and glycoproteins have the potential to improve health when used as therapeutic products for prevention or treatment of disease, but methods are needed for solving some remaining challenges to production, optimization, ... -
PROGRESS IN DEVELOPING AN OVARIAN CANCER SCREEN BASED ON WHISPERING GALLERY MODE IMAGING
(University of Kansas, 2012-05-31)Despite considerable research devoted to identifying biomarkers for ovarian cancer, no screening method is currently available for routine early detection of the disease. While highly treatable in its early stages, a lack ... -
Palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation via decarboxylative and retro-Claisen C-C cleavage methods
(University of Kansas, 2012-05-31)Presented herein is the development of new methods for Pd-catalyzed allylic alkylation with a central focus on reactions that generate molecular complexity rapidly with little waste byproduct. With this simply stated, yet ... -
Newly Developed Methods for Functionalization of Quaternary Carbons: Decarboxylative Allylation, Benzylation, and Arylation of Nitriles and the Asymmetric Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation of 1,3-Diketones
(University of Kansas, 2012-05-31)Decarboxylative carbon-carbon bond formations have emerged as a powerful synthetic tool within the past ten years. Beginning with the seminal reports from Saegusa and Tsuji in 1980, the decarboxylative allylation (DcA) of ... -
Syntheses of Functionalized Benzylic Compounds: Development of Palladium-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Benzylation Reactions
(University of Kansas, 2012-08-31)Carbon-carbon bond formation between the benzyl carbon and a functional group is important in organic synthesis because majority of the compounds in the chemical literature contain aromatic cores appended with different ... -
Iron metabolism in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa requires two ferritin-like molecules, Pa FtnA and Pa BfrB
(University of Kansas, 2012-08-31)FtnA is an iron storage protein in Pseudomonas aeruginosa which is capable of storing about 4500 Fe3+ ions in its inner core. According to earlier classifications of this protein Pseudomonas aeruginosa was proposed to have ... -
