Examination of the organocatalysed reactions between azides and cyclic anhydrides
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2022)Azide is encountered in organic synthesis as both a functional group and as and an ion, and provides a valuable means of incorporating nitrogen into target compounds. The intrinsic nucleophilicity of azides can be beneficial, ... -
Incremental Introduction of Organocatalytic Activity into Conformationally Engineered Porphyrins
(2019)To study the correlation of macrocycle nonplanarity and catalytic activity of free base porphyrins in detail, a series of six tetraphenylporphyrins with graded degree of β‐ethyl substitution (“H2EtxTPPs” 1–6; x = 0, 2, 4, ... -
Molecular Engineering of Porphyrins as Organocatalysts and Methods Development for New Highly Substituted Porphyrins
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2019)Chapter 1 introduces the N–H…X binding motif in tetrapyrroles, which forms the basis of the research carried out on organocatalytically active porphyrins in Chapters 3.1–3.3. Specifically, the role of porphyrin(oid) ligands ...
