Synthesis of curvulone B and allahabadolactone, and the development of a diastereoselective Tsuji-Trost cyclisation by Wang, Kongchen

“…The first chapter describes the synthesis of curvulone B featuring a strategy of cross metathesis and oxa-Michael addition in the construction of the desired cis-THP ring. This strategy is one of the most effective tools in the synthesis of THP rings containing natural products. o-Chlorobenzyl ether was developed as a new protecting group for alcohols and proved to be a reliable protecting group under Lewis acidic condition. …”

Fast depth-sensitive fluorescence measurements in turbid media using cone shell configuration by Ong, Yi Hong, Liu, Quan

“…Depth-sensitive fluorescence spectroscopy in a two-layered epithelial tissue phantom was demonstrated using a cone shell configuration implemented by an axicon lens and a fiber assembly including five rings of collection fibers. Each collection fiber ring was located at a different radial distance away from the center, for which fluorescence measurements from all rings showed a larger range of sensitivities to the top and bottom layers compared to the previously reported cone shell configuration. …”
