Study of silyl protecting groups in anomerisation reactions: Total synthesis of a glycolipid from Plakortis simplex and its mimetics
(NUI Galway, 2019-02-04)
This thesis deals with anomerisation, which is, in other words, epimerisation at the anomeric centre, usually interpreted as being from the equatorial to the axial anomer. An objective was to enhance the knowledge of this ...
Carbohydrates in the synthesis of macrocycles and glycoclusters
(NUI Galway, 2019-01-28)
This thesis deals with efforts to generate new bioactive organic compounds. The main focus
has been on the use of carbohydrate building blocks for synthesis of both macrocyclic
compounds and glycoclusters for biological ...
Small-molecule-based crosslinking and bioconjugation of biomolecules
(NUI Galway, 2020-01-10)
Chapter 1: The chemical modification and bioconjugation of proteins is an expanding yet challenging area of chemical biology. The superior nucleophilicity of cysteine presents it as a uniquely reactive bioconjugation handle. ...
