Desymmetrisation of 1,3-diols and their diacetates under enzymatic heterogeneous catalysis and synthesis of 1,3-diols under continuous flow conditions by Pamarthy, Varsha Siri

“…Piperidones are present in many biologically important compounds. One of the key steps in the synthesis of one such piperidone, N-benzyl-5- methoxypiperidone, is the desymmetrisation of 1,3-diol, N-Benzyl-5-hydroxy-4- (hydroxymethyl)pentanamide or 1,3-diacetate, N-Benzyl-5-acetoxy-4- (acetoxymethyl)pentanamide, which provide access to the (R)- and (S)- enantiomers of the piperidone, respectively. …”

Design, characterization and properties of nitrogen-containing novel organic N-type materials by Wu, Yuechao.

“…Although a lot of n-type organic materials have been reported,this research will specially focus on N-substituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs)because Houk et al predicted that the azaacenes have high electron affinities and could be promising candidates for n-type semiconducting materials.In fact,some N-heteroacenes have already shown decent electron mobility.Moreover,N-heteroacenes are more stable(resistive to oxidation or dimerization).In addition,the physical properties of n-substituted heteroacenes strongly depend on the number,position and valence states of nitrogen atoms.These progresses strongly encourage me to prepare larger azaacenes In this thesis,I have designed,synthesized and characterized several new azaacenes,which are expected to exhibit good performance in electronic devices.I developed a simple and efficient method(one or two steps)to prepare targeted azaacenes through condensation reaction starting from commercially available materials.All as-prepared compounds are very stable and have lower bandgaps.Phototransistors based on 6,8,15,17-tetraaza-1.18,4.5,9.10,13.14- tetrabenzoheptacene(TTP)single crystals have been fabricated and this device exhibited excellent performance in amplifying and converting light signal under the photoconductive effect.In addition,9,11,13,22,24,26-hexaza-tetrabenzo[a,c,l,n]heptacene(HATBH)can act as an efficient anion sensor for naked-eye detection of F- and H2PO4- anions and 9,26-dihydro 9,11,13,22,24,26-hexaza-tetrapyrido[3,2-a: 2’,3’-c:3”,2”-l:2”’,3”’-n]heptacene(DHATPH)can selectively sense F- anion among TEN anions(F-,Cl-,Br -,I-,PF6-,HSO4-,NO3-,BF4-,AcO-,and H2PO4-). …”

Gene expression regulation by well-known non-coding RNAs by Tan, Jiazi

“…In this thesis, I studied the functions of two well-known non-coding ribonucleic acids (ncRNAs), namely U1 small nuclear ribonucleic acid (snRNA) and Xist, which exert their influence over gene expression via different pathways. 5’ splice site (5’ss) recognition by U1 snRNA binding is one of the first steps in pre-mRNA splicing, which is critical for gene expression in eukaryotes. …”
