Synthesis of fluorescent 7-amino-2,1-benzothiazines and total synthesis of buddledone A
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
The development of new fluorescent compounds has been reported continuously due to their application as sensors and optical devices for material, biological and chemical applications. This dissertation reports the syntheses ...
Determination of trace elements levels in human plasma and radiated mice tongue by inductively coupled plasma-mass-spectrometry (ICP-MS)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
An analytical method that uses a minimum150 μL of human plasma samples for the trace elements Fe, Cu, Zn, Mg and ultratrace elements Mn, Co, Cd, Pb was developed. The method was evaluated using both high resolution sector ...
Formal total synthesis of pseudopteroxale : progress toward total synthesis of hamigeran B
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
In the first chapter, a formal total synthesis of pseudopteroxazole is presented, highlightening an E-selective Horner-Emmons reaction, a Buchwald-Hartwig coupling, and a diastereoselective intramolecular Michael addition. ...
Synthesis and characterization of host-guest complexes : metal-organic nanocapsules using aryl-substituted pyrogallol[4]arenes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
The desire to synthesize and control self-assembly of molecular nanocapsules has long been a focus within the supramolecular community due to the nanocapsules' potential applications as tools for encapsulation and delivery ...
The fatty acids present in human milk
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
In beginning of this thesis an effort was made to find all the available references on the subject of the chemistry of human milk fat in order that a bibliography might be made which would cover all the work done on the ...
Hydrolytic stability of carbamate and carbonate closomers for the design of a multifaceted drug delivery system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Twelve-fold substituted polyhedral boranes (closomers) are of therapeutic and diagnostic interest in the applications of targeted drug delivery. These ...
Comparison of some standards of radioactivity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1909)
Investigators on the continent of Europe have used the C.G.S. electrostatic standard, while those in England and this country have generally used the Boltwood radium emanation standard. Now McCoy and Ashman have already ...
Contribution toward the chemical compostition of the crystalline rocks of south-east Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
The study of the chemical composition of the crystalline rocks of South-East Missouri was undertaken a few years ago by Prof. J.A. Gibson. Prof. Gibson, assisted by Mr. W.J. Bray, collected several samples of granites near ...
11-amino-1 undecene-covered SI (100) and GE (100) surfaces
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Due to the similar properties and structures of silicon and germanium surfaces, they have similar methods of passivation and organic functionalizaiton reactions. The formation of organic monolayers on semiconductor surfaces ...
More evidence upon the structure of phloroglucinol and some new derivatives
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
From the results of phloroglucinol and its derivatives we conclude that phloroglucinol has a large per cent of the ketone structure as we were able to get reactions with every reagent tried on the diphenyl formamidine ...
A comparison of methods of determining the amount of radium in rocks and minerals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
This paper is chiefly the outcome of a study of the radioactivity of the rock at different depths from the surface obtained during the drilling of the University deep well number 2. The first method described by J. Joly ...
Measurement of trace element levels in noctuid larvae in response to baculovirus infections
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] While a number of studies have examined the effects of viral infections on the trace element status of mammals, very little is known about the roles ...
Studies of the chemistry of sulfoximines, 2, 1 benzothiazines and cyclopentadienones
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The N-Acylation of a sulfoximine with carboxylic acids was accomplished with boric acid and several boronic acids. Aliphatic acids give fair yields ...
Alkene oxidation by platinum (II) oxo/hydroxo complexes
