Asymmetric allylic alkynylation catalyzed by guanidine copper(I) complex by Cui, Xiyang

“…The main project during my Ph.D. period was devoted to developing the asymmetric allylic alkynylation of racemic chiral substrates in the presence of Cu(I) and chiral guanidinium catalysts. Previously developed guanidine-derived chiral organocatalysts in Prof Tan Choon Hong’s lab were applied into asymmetric transition-metal catalyzed coupling reaction for the first time, showing great efficiency in the stereoconvergent transformation of racemic cyclic allylic bromides. …”

Statistical analysis plan for a cluster randomised controlled trial to compare screening, feedback and intervention for child anxiety problems to usual school practice: identifying Child Anxiety Through Schools-identification to intervention (iCATS-i2i) by Ball, S, Reardon, T, Creswell, C, Taylor, L, Brown, P, Ford, T, Gray, A, Hill, C, Jasper, B, Larkin, M, Macdonald, I, Morgan, F, Pollard, J, Sancho, M, Sniehotta, FF, Spence, SH, Stainer, J, Stallard, P, Violato, M, Ukoumunne, OC

“…<p><strong>Background</strong></p> The Identifying Child Anxiety Through Schools-identification to intervention (iCATS-i2i) trial is being conducted to establish whether ‘screening and intervention’, consisting of usual school practice plus a pathway comprising screening, feedback and a brief parent-led online intervention (OSI: Online Support and Intervention for child anxiety), bring clinical and health economic benefits compared to usual school practice and assessment only — ‘usual school practice’, for children aged 8–9 years in the following: (1) the ‘target population’, who initially screen positive for anxiety problems according to a two-item parent-report child anxiety questionnaire — iCATS-2, and (2) the ‘total population’, comprising all children in participating classes. …”
