The goal of this research project was to design and synthesize small-molecule inhibitors using reductive amination, Suzuki coupling, and the addition of protecting groups.
Using a simple copper(i) catalyst has allowed a high yielding sulfonylative-Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction to be developed. The process provides a single step route to diaryl sulfones from the direct combination of aryl...
The synthesis of a previously undescribed sp3-rich 6-5-5-6 tetracyclic ring scaffold using a palladium catalysed domino Heck-Suzuki reaction is reported. This reaction is high-yielding, selective for the domino process over the...
The mechanisms by which the diffusion rate in the plasma membrane (PM) is regulated remain unresolved, despite their importance in spatially regulating the reaction rates in the PM. Proposed models include entrapment in...
Fifty percent of IB schools in Japan use both the national and IB-authorized English textbooks. This chapter will explore the issue of how these differ. Books used for the study came from MYP Phase 3, MYP Phase 4, DP English B...
Visible light driven photocatalytic water oxidations were undertaken that compared lactate stabilized molecular and nanoparticle cobalt complexes and calcium manganese oxides as simple mimics of the PSII CaMn4O5 catalyst....
Two novel polymer encapsulated silica supported palladium catalysts have been prepared and shown to be highly active, robust and recyclable catalysts for Heck and Suzuki–Miyaura cross coupling reactions under continuous flow...
Post-synthetic Suzuki coupling reactions have been undertaken on the halide-functionalised metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) [Zn4O(bdc-Br)3] (bdc-Br = 2-bromo-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, IRMOF-2) and...

We report the first boron-substituted naphthalenediimides (NDIs), prepared by iridium catalysed C–H activation. When the NDI substrates bear N-benzyl substituents, the naphthyl NDI core is borylated in preference, suggestive of...

In the dual-stream model of language processing, the exact connectivity of the ventral stream to the anterior temporal lobe remains elusive. To investigate the connectivity between the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and the...

The synthesis, characterization and solar cell performance of PCDTBT and its highly soluble analogue hexyl-PCDTBT with cross-conjugated benzoyl moieties at the carbazole comonomer are presented. Through the use of both model...
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. Human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) hold immense clinical potential and recent studies have enabled generation of virtually pure hPSC-CMs...
Small molecules and antisense oligonucleotides that inhibit the translation initiation factors eIF4A1 and eIF4E have been explored as broad-based therapeutic agents for cancer treatment, based on the frequent upregulation of...
Mammalian genomes can be edited by injecting pronuclear embryos with Cas9 cRNA and guide RNA (gRNA) but it is unknown whether editing can also occur during the onset of embryonic development, prior to pronuclear embryogenesis....

Protected areas offer diverse ecosystem services, including cultural services related to recreation, which contribute manifold to human wellbeing and the economy. However, multiple pressures from other human activities...
