Chapter 1: An assessment of the mechanism of the benzoin condensation. The reaction under non-hydroxylic conditions. The generally accepted mechanism for the well known benzion condensation is unviable for the following ...

Chapter 1: Supramolecular gels and their applications Gels are viscoelastic materials composed of a solid-like three dimensional fibrillar network that is embedded in a liquid. Supramolecular gels belong to a class of ...

Mycobacterial infection is a major health concern. High drug resistivity of the mycobacterium is due to its multi-layered, thick hydrophobic waxy cell wall components, consisting of cross-linked peptidoglycan (PG), mycolyl ...

Chapter I deals with novel approaches for α-amino acids. This chapter has been divided into three sections. Section A describes the synthesis of α-amino acids via the Beckmann rearrangement of carboxyl-protected β-keto ...

The thesis entitled “Total synthesis of palmerolide A, dihydroconduritols and lentiginosine” is divided into two chapters. First chapter of the thesis describes the formal total synthesis of bioactive marine macrolide ...

Total synthesis of natural products is of contemporary interest in organic synthesis. One of the useful ways to synthesize the natural products is to originate from inexpensive chiral pool compounds abundantly available ...

Troger's base was the first amine to be resolved where the chirality was due to solely very high inversion barrier around nitrogen atom. Though the molecule was known for over a century, work done during the past decade ...

The thesis entitled "Studies on N-Hetero cyclic Compounds: (a) Reaction of 5,6,7,8-Tetrahydroisoquinolines with Vilsmeier Reagent and (b) Amide Induced in situ Alkylation of 5,6-Dihydroisoquinolines" is presented in two ...

The construction of diverse molecular architecture conceived and created by Nature, continues to be the most exiting and challenging task to the practitioners of organic synthesis. As a result of refinement in isolation ...
