A growing theme in chemistry is the joining of multiple organic molecular building blocks to
create functional molecules. Diverse derivatizable structures—here termed “scaffolds” …

The mosquito Aedes aegypti transmits the virus that causes dengue, yellow fever, Zika and
Chikungunya viruses, and in several regions of the planet represents a vector of great …

The review covers work published in the calendar year 2018. Novel reaction chemistry and
new ring synthetic methods for 1, 2, 3-triazines, 1, 2, 4-triazines, 1, 3, 5-triazines, and …

A new triazinone-based reagent for Op-methoxybenzylation has been developed. In spite of
its stability in solid form, this reagent converts a free alcohol into the corresponding p …

A triazine-based reagent, 2-hydroperoxy-4, 6-dimorpholino-1, 3, 5-triazine (Triazox-II), was
developed for alkene epoxidation. This reagent can be prepared from inexpensive starting …

The oxidative‐addition reaction between an arylmethyl chloride (RCH2Cl; R= 1‐C10H7, 2,
4, 6‐Me3C6H2, 4‐MeC6H4, 3‐MeC6H4, C6H5, 4‐ClC6H4) and tin powder in boiling …

Iterative exponential growth is a powerful method for the synthesis of atomically defined
macromolecules. However, preparation of enantiopure IEG-ready monomers can be …

A density‐functional theory study of the reaction of butadiene with the allyl cation, in the gas
phase and dimethyl sulfoxide, has brought to focus the fact that the widths of pathways to …

The reaction profile of acid-catalyzed O-benzylation with 2, 4, 6-tris (benzyloxy)-1, 3, 5-
triazine (TriBOT) was analyzed to study the reaction kinetics. The first-order kinetic constant …

This dissertation explores how the scope of hydrogen borrowing reactions can be further
expanded to use both primary and secondary alcohols to form α-, β-and α, β-branched aryl …
