Catalytic and mechanistic studies into the epoxidation of styrenes using manganese complexes of structurally similar polyamine ligands (2013)
Journal Article
Ilyashenko, G., De Faveri, G., Follier, T., Al-Safadi, R., Motevalli, M., & Watkinson, M. (in press). Catalytic and mechanistic studies into the epoxidation of styrenes using manganese complexes of structurally similar polyamine ligands. Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry, 12(7), 1124-1134. https://doi.org/10.1039/c3ob42274g

Two structurally similar polyamine ligands (7 and 8) have been prepared, which differ only by the presence of either a secondary or tertiary nitrogen donor within their N5 donor set. The ligands, in combination with iron and manganese salts, have bee...

A synthesis of a 1,1′-desymmetrised ferrocene backbone and its facile one-pot double-“click” functionalisation (2013)
Journal Article
Ilyashenko, G., Al-Safadi, R., Donnan, R., Dubrovka, R., Pancholi, J., Watkinson, M., & Whiting, A. (2013). A synthesis of a 1,1′-desymmetrised ferrocene backbone and its facile one-pot double-“click” functionalisation. RSC advances, 3(38), 17081. https://doi.org/10.1039/c3ra43054e

A one-pot, four-component, copper-catalysed double-“click” functionalisation of a novel 1,1′-desymmetrised ferrocene backbone is reported. Using an array of alkynes and azides, a library of ferrocene compounds was developed, demonstrating the scope o...

Initial rate kinetic studies show an unexpected influence of para-substituents on the catalytic behaviour of manganese complexes of TMTACN in the epoxidation of styrenes with H2O2 (2013)
Journal Article
Ilyashenko, G., De Faveri, G., Masoudi, S., Al-Safadi, R., & Watkinson, M. (2013). Initial rate kinetic studies show an unexpected influence of para-substituents on the catalytic behaviour of manganese complexes of TMTACN in the epoxidation of styrenes with H2O2. Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry, 11(12), 1942. https://doi.org/10.1039/c3ob27217f

Investigations into the efficacy of a range of enantiomerically pure BINOL additives in the epoxidation of styrene substrates with a number of manganese catalysts prepared from the ligand 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane, TMTACN, using hydroge...
