• Synthetic and stereochemical aspects of enantioselective copper catalysed C-H insertion reactions leading to cyclopentanones and sultones 

  Shiely, Amy E. (University College Cork, 2018)

  This thesis describes the synthesis of a series of α-diazocarbonyl compounds including α-diazoβ-keto sulfones, α-diazo-β-keto phosphine oxides, 2-diazo-1,3-diketones and αdiazosulfonates, and their reactivity in intramolecular ...
• Synthesis of novel quinine analogs and evaluation of their effects on Trypanosoma cruzi 

  Ceole, Ligia F.; Gandhi, Hirenkumar; Villamizar, Luz H.; Soares, Maurilio J.; O'Sullivan, Timothy P. (Future Science: Newlands Press, 2018-02)

  Aim: Chagas disease is a tropical disease caused by the hemoflagellate protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. There is no vaccine for Chagas disease and available drugs (e.g., benznidazole) are effective only during the acute phase, ...
• Asymmetric peroxidation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes under diarylprolinol ether catalysis 

  O'Reilly, Kate; Gupta, Manoj K.; Gandhi, Hirenkumar; Kumar, Vydyula P.; O'Sullivan, Timothy P. (Bentham Science Publishers, 2017)

  Background: Chiral peroxides, many of which are biologically active, are an attractive target in organic synthesis. Organocatalysts have been used for some time in the asymmetric epoxidation of α,β- unsaturated carbonyls. ...
• Preparation of γ,δ-unsaturated-β-ketoesters: Lewis acid-catalysed CH insertion of ethyl diazoacetate into α,β-unsaturated aldehydes 

  Gandhi, Hirenkumar; O'Sullivan, Timothy P. (Elsevier, 2017-07-29)

  The synthesis of γ,δ-unsaturated-β-keto esters was achieved by the Lewis acid-catalysed direct CH insertion of an α-diazoester into various α,β-substituted-unsaturated aldehydes. CH insertion of ethyl diazoacetate into ...
• Revisiting conversion reaction mechanisms in lithium batteries: lithiation-driven topotactic transformation in FeF2 

  Karki, Khim; Wu, Lijun; Ma, Ying; Armstrong, Mark J.; Holmes, Justin D.; Garofalini, Stephen H.; Zhu, Yimei; Stach, Eric A.; Wang, Feng (American Chemical Society, 2018-11-20)

  Intercalation-type electrodes have now been commonly employed in todayâ s batteries due to their capability of storing and releasing lithium reversibly via topotactic transformation, conducive to small structural change, ...
