Activated esters in the field of polynucleotides and coenzymes
Thesis
Activated esters in the field of polynucleotides and coenzymes. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/410420

The 1- ethoxyvinyl esters of a variety of acids have been prepared, and isolated in some cases. In other cases their presence was demonstrated by their spectra and chemical properties. Thus 1-ethoxyvinyl thiolates and sulphonates were isolated , char... Read More about Activated esters in the field of polynucleotides and coenzymes.

Studies on the synthesis of monoterpene alkaloids and related compounds
Thesis
Studies on the synthesis of monoterpene alkaloids and related compounds. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/410427

The chemistry of monoterpene alkaloids is reviewed, and a brief review of the chemistry of 9-azasteroids is given. The attempted synthesis of an alkaloid thought to be 6,7-dihydro-7-methyl-5H-2-pyrindine is described. Several methods for the construc...

The synthesis and photochemical behaviour of benztropones and related compounds
Thesis
The synthesis and photochemical behaviour of benztropones and related compounds. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/415123

Our aim was to identify the possible factors which controlled the photochemical reactions of benztropones or more widely , annulated tropones,by synthesising benztropones with electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents on the benzene rin...

Stereochemical studies of heterocyclic analogues of decalins
Thesis
Stereochemical studies of heterocyclic analogues of decalins. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/415140

This dissertation is concerned with the synthesis of the
octahydro-1-benzopyran and octahydro-1,4-benzoxazine systems and the application of 1H and 13C n.m.r. spectroscopy to determine the stereochemistry and major conformation adopted by the isomer... Read More about Stereochemical studies of heterocyclic analogues of decalins.

Studies on the analysis of ecdysteroids and on the seasonal variation of the moulting hormones of the barnacle, Balanus balanoides
Thesis
Studies on the analysis of ecdysteroids and on the seasonal variation of the moulting hormones of the barnacle, Balanus balanoides. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/415014

The separation properties of a number of ecdysteroids were examined. The ecdysteroids themselves were separated by thin layer and reverse phase thin layer chromatography. Trimethylsilyl ethers of the ecdysteroids were prepared by reaction with trimet...

The kinematics and physical properties for some H II regions to the North-East of NGC 4945**
Presentation / Conference
Van Loon. The kinematics and physical properties for some H II regions to the North-East of NGC 4945**. Presented at 3rd International Scientific Conference of Alkafeel University (ISCKU 2021)

We study the ionized outflows to the North-East of the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 4945 with the combination of the Fabry-Perot (FP) and long-slit (LS) observations at the South African Large Telescope (SALT). The FP observation was used to analyse Ha... Read More about The kinematics and physical properties for some H II regions to the North-East of NGC 4945**.

An investigation into the biotransformation and enzymology of a methyl-imidazole containing cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor
Thesis
An investigation into the biotransformation and enzymology of a methyl-imidazole containing cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/423950

The cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor AZD5438 was in development by AstraZeneca for treatment of solid tumours where it showed a pattern of emerging toxicity loosely correlated with exposure during clinical trials in patients. Metabolites identified... Read More about An investigation into the biotransformation and enzymology of a methyl-imidazole containing cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor.

Chemical investigations of exocrine glands in some Myrmica and Attine ants

The Synthesis and properties of [1,2,3] triazolo [1,5-a] pyridines
Thesis
The Synthesis and properties of [1,2,3] triazolo [1,5-a] pyridines. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/416874

Chapter one describes the electrophilic substitution reactions of [l,2,3]triazolo[l,5-a]pyridine, and the reactions in which nitrogen extrusion are characteristic. It also describes the attempts to functionalise the pyridine ring. A review on the syn... Read More about The Synthesis and properties of [1,2,3] triazolo [1,5-a] pyridines.

Synthetic studies on farnesene isomers and homologues from the Dufour glands of ants
Thesis
Synthetic studies on farnesene isomers and homologues from the Dufour glands of ants. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/416979

(Z,E)-q-farnesene and its homologues homo-, bishomo- and trishomo-farnesenes had been identified as constituents, of the Dufour gland secretion of several species of Myrmica ant. Although farnesene isomers had been found previously in plant and insec... Read More about Synthetic studies on farnesene isomers and homologues from the Dufour glands of ants.
