Acetic Anhydride

Hanna, Carl (University of Alabama Libraries, 1929)

Acetic anhydride is a colourless, volatile liquid having an odor like that of glacial acetic acid, but stronger. It is very corrosive and its vapors are extremely irritating to the eyes and lungs. Care should therefore be ...
Air-stable palladium(II) precatalysts: synthesis, properties, and applications in cross-coupling reactions

Barnett, Kerry Lynn (University of Alabama Libraries, 2017)

Palladium catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are a versatile tool in organic chemistry to produce small molecules. Current research interests involve the development of new catalyst systems for various palladium catalyzed ...
Anionic polymerization of activated aziridines

Mbarushimana, Pierre Canisius C. (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

Polyethyleneimine, also referred to as polyaziridine, is a polymer that has a repeat unit of (-CH2CH2NH-). Due to its high amine density, PEI finds application in several domains including gene transfection, antimicrobia ...
The anionic ring-opening polymerization of cyclic imines

Reisman, Louis (University of Alabama Libraries, 2019)

One important class of polymers is polyimines. Polyimines have a wide range of applications such as CO2 capture and non-viral gene-transfection. Despite their many applications, the use of these polymers is limited due to ...
Application of hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry in protein-ligand and protein-protein interactions

Guan, Siqi (University of Alabama Libraries, 2016)

Proteins are not static objects. They have a great variety of internal motions with different amplitudes and different timescales. These internal motions play an important role in catalytic processes. Therefore, the existence ...
Applications of polyamidoamine dendrimers in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells

Zhu, Huizhen (University of Alabama Libraries, 2009)

Dendrimers are highly branched macromolecules with well-ordered three- dimensional architectures. Polyamidoamine (PAMAM), the most common class of dendrimers, have been widely studied due primarily to the following three ...
Approaches to the Synthesis of Qinghaosu

Muse, David Earl (University of Alabama Libraries, 1984)

The object of this research was to develop new syntheses of bicyclic peroxides and to apply these new methods to the total synthesis of qinghaosu (Arteannuin A), a previously reported anti-malarial compound. 4 Qinghaosu ...
Azobenzene and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone donor-acceptor complexation and analysis of the magnetic anisotropy of the nitroso substituent in aromatic systems

Reach, Savannah (University of Alabama Libraries, 2015)

The first part of this thesis describes the evaluation of a new electron donor-acceptor (DA) bond between azobenzene (AB) with the electron deficient quinone 2,3-dichloro-4,5-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ), the former acting ...
Benzoic acid (C₆H₆COOH)

Hood, Edward P. (University of Alabama Libraries, 1920)

The acid juice of apples and various other fruits was employed for preparing different medicines before any attempt was made to isolate the acid itself. Free benzoic acid, however, obtained by subliming benzoin, was ...
Borafluorenes and polyborafluorenes boron doped varients of fluorene

Adams, Ian (University of Alabama Libraries, 2017)

A series of novel boron containing variants of fluorene were synthesized. Boron was incorporated synthetically via lithium halogen exchange and Grignard reaction pathways. Once incorporated, the borafluorene could be ...
Carbohydrate sensing using boronic acid modified polymers

Liang, Xiaoli (University of Alabama Libraries, 2019)

Polyelectrolytes have attained a more prominent role in the design of supramolecular systems in recent years. In particular, commercially available poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers have been widely used because they ...
Catalytic small molecule reduction using late transition metal complexes of carbon and nitrogen donor chelates

Siek, Sopheavy (University of Alabama Libraries, 2017)

Hydrogenation reactions can be used to store energy in chemical bonds, and if these reactions are reversible that energy can be released on demand. A new bidentate chelating ligand was designed and synthesized for this ...
Characterization and catalytic applications of silver nanoparticles supported on hierarchically porous SiO_2 and Co_3O_4 monoliths

Yildirim, Yasemin (University of Alabama Libraries, 2017)

Hierarchically porous materials are of great interest in such applications as catalysis, drug delivery, chromatography, and electrochemical sensor arrays due to properties such as high surface area, large void volume, and ...
Characterization and thermoelectric performance of polymer/inorganic hybrid films using spectroscopic and microscopic techniques

Sutch, Tabitha Patricia (University of Alabama Libraries, 2019)

The main goal of this dissertation was to investigate the thermoelectric performance of films of silver telluride (Ag2Te), bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) and bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) nanowires (NWs) dispersed in P(NDI2OD-T2). ...
Characterization of the carotenoid cis-bixin

Tay-Agbozo, Sefadzi (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

Bixin, a carotenoid found in annatto, Bixa orellana, is unique among natural carotenoids by being sparingly water-soluble. Bixin free radicals have been stabilized on the surface of silica alumina and TiO2 and characterized ...
The Chemical Refining of Natural Graphite

Anderson, Ross Eugene (University of Alabama Libraries, 1930)

It is the purpose of this paper to present some of the more important aspects of the graphite industry, such as countries producing graphite, economic conditions, uses of graphite, and the nature of graphite deposits; and ...
Chemistry of Butenolides Derived from D-Ribonolactone

Blazis, Vincent Joseph (University of Alabama Libraries, 1988)

Acetomycin was first reported by Prelog and coworkers as an antibacterial agent isolated from Streptomyces ramulosus, strain ETH 17633. This natural product has been subsequently found in culture of Streptomyces ramulosus ...
Chromium, question of essentiality for mammals: its subcellular mechanism, toxicity, uses as a probe for DNA binding

Rhodes, Nicholas Ryan (University of Alabama Libraries, 2011)

Chromium was proposed to be an essential trace element over 50 years ago and was accepted as an essential element for over thirty years. Several studies were performed to address the question of essentiality. Male Zucker ...
Chromium: binding studies with transferrin and peptide eeeegdd and its effect on colorectal cancer

Deng, Ge (University of Alabama Libraries, 2016)

Chromium as the trivalent ion has been proposed as an essential element for decades. Although that status has recently been discredited, doses of Cr3+ have been shown to generate improvements in insulin sensitivity and ...
Comparative Reactivities of Axial and Equatorial Carbinol Derivatives

Williams, George C. (University of Alabama Libraries, 1961)

In an earlier work, rates of reaction of iodide ion with cyclopentylmethyl bromide and cyclohexylmethyl bromide in dry acetone were determined. These two compounds reacted at about the same rate, but there were differences ...
