Spectroscopic investigations of acrylodan dye interactions with poly(amidoamine) and poly(propyleneimine) dendrimers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The novel molecular architecture of dendrimers facilitates use in many applications. Using the solvatochromic probe phenol blue, the first direct ... -
Spectroscopic investigations of dendritic polymers as molecular containers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Previous research has shown the fluorescent probe phenol blue will associate with the dendritic polymers polypropyleneimine (PPI) and polyamidoamine ... -
Spectroscopic investigations of the beta-amyloid peptide
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)The focus of this project is two-fold: examining the native structures of three different fragments of the beta-amyloid (A[beta]) peptide, and attempting to overcome some of the difficulties encountered in such an examination. ... -
Synthesis of silyloxyacrolein for [4+3] cycloaddition and preparation of carbonate closomer
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Followed by Funk's method, I synthesized silyloxyacroleins and used them as dienophiles to react with different dienes in [4+3] cycloaddition reaction. ... -
Variable-temperature ¹H-NMR and AB initio study of 5-amino-imidazole-4-carboxamide (AICA): competing paths for amide-H scrambling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)5(4)-aminoimidazole-4(5)-carboxamide (AICA and TAICA) is an important precursor for the synthesis of purines in general and of the nucleobases adenine and guanine in particular. Biotic nucleobase synthesis has been studied ...
