Synchronized hatch and its ecological significance in rainbow smelt Osmerus mordax in St. Mary's Bay, Newfoundland
(2004-11)Early life history stages in most marine animals are subject to high mortality through predation, starvation, and dispersal. Accordingly, the potential exists for the selection of behavioral mechanisms that reduce ... -
Synconvergent ductile flow in variable-strength continental crust; numerical models with application to the western Grenville Orogen
(American Geophysical Union, Washington, DC, 2007-10)No abstract available. -
Synthesis and Anticancer Activity of Prodigiosenes bearing C-Ring Esters and Amides
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017) -
Synthesis and Antimalarial Activity of Prodigiosenes
(Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry, 2014)Several analogues of the natural compound prodigiosin with modified A- and C-rings were synthesised as were some of their tin, cobalt, boron and zinc complexes. The antimalarial activity of these prodigiosenes was evaluated ... -
Synthesis and biological evaluation of prodigiosene conjugates of porphyrin, estrone and 4-hydroxytamoxifen
(Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry, 2013)To generate the first series of prodigiosene conjugates, the tripyrrolic skeleton was appended to estrone, tamoxifen and porphyrin frameworks by way of ester linkers and various hydrocarbon chain lengths. The ability of ... -
Synthesis and characterisation of the unsubstituted dipyrrin and 4,4-dichloro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene: improved synthesis and functionalisation of the simplest BODIPY framework
(2013)An improved and scalable synthesis of the unsubstituted 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene framework facilitates access to the previously unreported parent dipyrrin HCl salt, as well as 4,4-dichloro-4-bora-3a,4a- ... -
Synthesis and Characterization of Pyrrolyldipyrrin F-BODIPYs
(Photochemical and Photobiological Sciences, 2018)A series of synthetic analogs of the tripyrrolic natural product prodigiosin were complexed with boron trifluoride to generate the corresponding F-BODIPYs. The maximum wavelengths of absorption and emission of the ... -
Synthesis and reactivity of 2-thionoester pyrroles: a route to 2-formyl pyrroles
(RSC Advances, 2019)2-Functionalised pyrroles exhibit considerable synthetic utility. Herein, the synthesis and reactivity of 2-thionoester (-C(S)OR) pyrroles is reported. 2-Thionoester pyrroles were synthesized using a Knorr-type approach ... -
Synthesis and Reactivity of Aza-Dipyrrin Alkali Metal Salts
(Chemical Communications, 2018)We report the lithium, sodium and potassium salts of aza-dipyrrins and detail their use as anionic aza-dipyrrinato ligand sources in complexation. Of the three types of alkali salts studied, those of lithium are found to ... -
Synthesis of dipyrrins bearing chirality adjacent to the conjugated skeleton - Electron-poor pyrroles exhibit dramatically reduced nucleophilicity
(2008-10)With the aim of furthering our investigations into the asymmetric complexation of dipyrrinato ligands, a dipyrrin bearing a stereogenic centre directly adjacent to the conjugated skeleton was synthesized. The electron- ... -
Synthesis of heteroleptic pyrrolide/bipyridyl complexes of ruthenium(II)
(2012-08)The synthesis and characterization of the first heteroleptic pyrrolide/2,2'-bipyridyl complexes of ruthenium(II) are reported. Pyrroles substituted at the 2-position with X = O functionality react with Ru(bipy)(2)Cl-2.2H(2)O ... -
Synthesis of natural products containing the pyrrolic ring
(2010)This review provides an overview of the synthetic chemistry that has been utilised to prepare natural products containing a pyrrolic ring. -
Synthesis of Prodigiosene-Estrogen Conjugates: optimization of protecting group strategies and anticancer properties
(Canadian Journal of Chemistry, 2015)The tripyrrolic prodigiosene skeleton was conjugated to several estrogen ligands. The conjugation was achieved via an ester linker that proved to be unusually sensitive to hydrolysis during synthesis. This work describes ... -
Synthesis of symmetric meso-H dipyrrin hydrobromides from 2-formyl pyrroles
(Synlett, 2014)The reaction of 2-formyl pyrroles in acidic methanol gives the corresponding symmetric, meso-H 4,6-dipyrrin hydrobromides. This convenient strategy involves initial deformylation under the acidic conditions, followed by ... -
Synthesis, Lithium Insertion and Thermal Stability of Si–Mo Alloys
(The Electrochemical Society, 2020-10-05)Li insertion was investigated in SixMo100−x (90 ≥ x ≥ 70, Δx = 10) alloys prepared by mechanical ball milling. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and quantitative phase analysis were used to analyze phase compositions of these Si–Mo ... -
Synthesis, properties and reactivity of BCl2 aza-BODIPY complexes and salts of the aza-dipyrrinato scaffold
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-02-25)The synthesis and characterisation of the BCl2-chelated complexes of both archetypal aza-dipyrrin sub- types are presented. A stepwise halogen exchange, leading to a mixed-halide Cl–B–F intermediate, is implicated in the ...
