The structure of hadrons and other potential phases of QCD by Schindler, Stella T.

“…Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is a mathematical theory describing subatomic particles called quarks and gluons, and the strong force that binds them together into protons and neutrons. This thesis centers on two major thrusts of modern QCD research: (1) uncovering the inner quark and gluon structure of the proton, and (2) mapping out other phases of matter that quarks and gluons form as we vary pressure and temperature. …”

Diastereoselective hydroalkylation of aryl alkenes enabled by remote hydride transfer by Gandamana, Dhika Aditya, Gagosz, Fabien, Chiba, Shunsuke

“…Leveraging of 1,5-hydride shift enabled diastereoselective hydroalkylation of aryl alkenes, allowing for construction of consecutive vicinal stereogenic centers in a single process. The transformation is triggered by electrophilic alkylation of aryl alkenes with in-situ generated carbocations, that is followed by diastereoselective 1,5-hydride shift to the resulting benzylic carbocation through a rigid 6-membered ring chair-like transition state.…”
