Design, synthesis and catalytic activity of novel oxazoline based ligands
Mc Cleary, Nadine (2015-08-14)This thesis can be viewed as two separate studies. Firstly, the design, synthesis and catalytic activity of novel 2-pyridyl mono(oxazoline). A family of mono(oxazoline) ligands were developed in which the 5-poition is ... -
The investigation of methylmagnesium chloride as a non-nucleophilic base
Gbadebo, Omolola (NUI Galway, 2018-11-30)The use of methylmagnesium chloride (MeMgCl) as a non-nucleophilic base is explored in this thesis. Grignard reagents react in nucleophilic addition reactions with nitriles yielding a ketone upon work-up, but in the ... -
Synthesis and Application of Chiral AraBOX ligands for Asymmetric Catalysis
Kellehan, David (2012-11-28)This thesis deals with the design, synthesis and reactivity of novel 4,4'-bisoxazoline ligands and their metal complexes; (S,S)-MePrAraBOX, (S,S)-PhPrAraBOX, (S,R)-MePrAraBOX, (S,R)-PhPrAraBOX, (S,R)-BnOAcAraBOX and ... -
Synthesis and application of chiral substituted oxazolines
Zhenyu, Cao (2015-09-08)This thesis consists of two subprojects, dealing with the design, synthesis and application of novel (1) pyridinyl-oxazoline ligands and (2) prolyl-oxazoline ligands. In Project 1 eleven novel pyridinyl-oxazoline ligands ... -
Synthesis and application of novel chiral 4,4' PheBOX ligands in asymmetric catalysis and Immobilisation study using 2,2'-PyBOX
Flanagan, Davina (14-10-17)A great deal is known about the reactivity of catalysts derived from 2,2'-PyBOX and 2,2'-PheBOX ligands in asymmetric reactions. The initial aim of this research was to investigate a new type of bisoxazoline ligand, where ...
