Iridium-Catalyzed Enantioselective Alkylation of Enols and Their Surrogates
This thesis, entitled “Iridium-Catalyzed Enantioselective Alkylation of Enols and their Surrogates” is divided into four chapters. In Chapter 1, the examples of the utilization of vinyl azide as amide and ketone enolate ... -
Understanding the Mechanism and Stereoselectivity of Fe-catalyzed Carbene Insertion Reactions using Computational Tools
Transition-metal and enzyme-catalyzed carbene insertion reactions are key methods for constructing C–X (X=N, O, S) and C–C bonds, primarily using catalysts such as Rh, Pd, Au, Cu, and Fe. While most of these give high ... -
Breaking Symmetry – Organocatalytic Enantioselective Synthesis of Natural and Unnatural Ladderanes
Architecturally unique compounds produced by nature have remained a source of inspiration for organic chemists. Ladderane phospholipids (such as [5][3]PC and [3][3]PC), isolated in the year 2002 from anaerobic ammonium oxidizing ... -
N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalyzed Enantioselective Synthesis of C-O Axially Chiral Diaryl Ethers, Tricyclic Lactones and Lactams
N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed transformations with distinctive activation modes allow the facile synthesis of atropoisomers. In this context, we have demonstrated the NHC-catalyzed synthesis of axially chiral diaryl ... -
Delayed Luminescent Materials: Development and Exploration of Applications
Delayed luminescence (DL) refers to light emission that persists after the excitation source is removed. Differing from conventional fluorescence, DL has a considerably longer lifetime attributable to the slow exciton ... -
Asymmetric Synthesis of Amino Acid Derivatives and Total Synthesis of Biologically Active Natural Products
The thesis describes the development of synthetic method for the synthesis of -amino acid esters, amides, thioesters using Ellman sulfinimines. The procedure developed was further utilized in the synthesis of di and tri ... -
Unlocking the Potential of Metal Ions in the Formation of Diverse Self-assembled Structures, Room Temperature Phosphorescence, and Sensing
Metal ions play indispensable roles across diverse processes, both biological and abiological, but their significance in the formation of complex self-assembled structures is only beginning to be understood. Sodium cholate, ... -
Studies of Carbohydrate-Conjugated Anthracenes in Self-Assembly, Bioimaging and Photosensitization
Conjugation of a carbohydrate moiety to an aromatic core leads to glycostructures that possess a high propensity for self-assembly in aq. solutions, driven primarily by π-stacking of the aromatic ring, as well as, the ... -
