Construction of 2,6-trans pyrans via Prins cyclization and its application towards the total synthesis of methyl sarcophytoate by Hu, Xuhong

“…Prins cyclization reaction involving a homoallylic alcohol with aldehyde is one of the most efficient methods to synthesize tetrahydropyran rings. However, due to the strong 1,3-diaxial interaction, the 2,6-cis tetrahydropyran moiety was formed preferably in most cases. …”

Ladder Polyether Synthesis via Epoxide-Opening Cascades Using a Disappearing Directing Group by Simpson, Graham L, Heffron, Timothy P, Merino, Estíbaliz, Jamison, Timothy F

“…The trimethylsilyl group disappears during the course of the cascade, and thus these are the first epoxide ring-opening cascades that afford ladder polyether subunits containing no directing groups at the end of the cascade.…”

Developments in THz Polaritonics: Towards Integrated Nonlinear THz Spectroscopy by Sung, Eric Rueyhao

“…A circular stair-step "echelon" mirror is used to shape the pump pulse into a conical tilted pulse front composed of a series of concentric rings of pump light. When the pump rings are imaged onto a thin LT waveguide, coherent superposition of the focusing THz fields excited individually by each pump ring results in a dramatically enhanced THz field at the focus. …”

Design and 3D printing of reconfigurable structures by Teo, Ee Hian

“…The structure is made up of single modular units being repeatedly fixed together, this leads to the structure to isolate single modular units that are damaged, allowing it to be easily pin-pointed and replaced by fabricating another similar single unit, this cut cost as the structure can be salvaged by replacing a single unit instead of the whole structure.…”
