• Telescoped approach to aryl hydroxymethylation in the synthesis of a key pharmaceutical intermediate 

  Slattery, Catherine N.; Deasy, Rebecca E.; Maguire, Anita R.; Kopach, Michael E.; Singh, Utpal K.; Argentine, Mark D.; Trankle, William G.; Scherer, Roger B.; Moynihan, Humphrey A. (American Chemical Society, 2013-05-30)

  An efficient synthetic approach leading to introduction of the hydroxymethyl group to an aryl moiety via combination of the Bouveault formylation and hydride reduction has been optimized using a rational, mechanistic-based ...
• Investigation of additive effects in enantioselective copper-catalysed C-H insertion and aromatic addition reactions of α-diazocarbonyl compounds 

  Slattery, Catherine N.; Clarke, Leslie-Ann; O'Neill, Shane T.; Ring, Aoife; Ford, Alan; Maguire, Anita R. (Georg Thieme Verlag, 2012-01)

  Significant enhancements in enantioselectivities and reaction efficiencies in asymmetric copper-catalysed C-H insertion and aromatic addition reactions of α-diazocarbonyl compounds in the presence of various group I salts ...
• Asymmetric oxidation of sulfides 

  O'Mahony, Graham E.; Ford, Alan; Maguire, Anita R. (Taylor and Francis, 2012-10-16)

  This review discusses synthesis of enantiopure sulfoxides through the asymmetric oxidation of prochiral sulfides. The use of metal complexes to promote asymmetric sulfoxidation is described in detail, with a particular ...
• Methyl tetra-O-acetyl-α-d-glucopyranuronate: crystal structure and influence on the crystallisation of the β anomer 

  Hayes, John A.; Eccles, Kevin S.; Lawrence, Simon E.; Moynihan, Humphrey A. (Elsevier Ltd, 2016-03-14)

  Methyl tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-glucopyranuronate (1) and methyl tetra-O-acetyl-α-d-glucopyranuronate (3) were isolated as crystalline solids and their crystal structures were obtained. That of the β anomer (1) was the same as ...
• Delivering enhanced efficiency in the synthesis of α-diazosulfoxides by exploiting the process control enabled in flow 

  McCaw, Patrick G.; Deadman, Benjamin J.; Maguire, Anita R.; Collins, Stuart G. (Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, 2016-07-04)

  Continuous-flow generation of α-diazosulfoxides results in a two- to three-fold increase in yields and decreased reaction times compared to standard batch synthesis methods. These high yielding reactions are enabled by ...
