Synthesis and structure of potential Lewis acid-Lewis base bifunctional catalysts: 2-N,N-diisopropylaminophenylboronate derivatives (2005)
Journal Article
Coghlan, S., Giles, R., Howard, J., Patrick, L., Probert, M., Smith, G., & Whiting, A. (2005). Synthesis and structure of potential Lewis acid-Lewis base bifunctional catalysts: 2-N,N-diisopropylaminophenylboronate derivatives. Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, 690(21-22), 4784-4793

Directed ortho-metallation is used to introduce a boron function into N,N-diisopropylbenzamide,. resulting in the formation of both borinate and boronate derivatives. N,N-Diisopropylbenzamide ortho-boronate pinacol ester can be reduced with sodium bo...

An insight into the mechanism of the cellulose dyeing process, part 2: Simulation of aggregation, solvent and additive effects upon azo-linked aromatics and dyes (2005)
Journal Article
Hamlin, J., & Whiting, A. (2005). An insight into the mechanism of the cellulose dyeing process, part 2: Simulation of aggregation, solvent and additive effects upon azo-linked aromatics and dyes. Molecular Simulation, 31(8), 605-612

In order to probe the complex process of dying cellulosic materials with common azo- linked dye systems, the aggregation-disaggregation process has been studied using molecular simulation techniques. In particular, the dynamics of multiple dye specie...

Morphology and elastic modulus of novel poly oligo(ethylene glycol) diacrylate -montmorillonite nanocomposites (2005)
Journal Article
Chen, B., Bowden, A., Greenwell, H., Boulet, P., Coveney, P., Whiting, A., & Evans, J. (2005). Morphology and elastic modulus of novel poly oligo(ethylene glycol) diacrylate -montmorillonite nanocomposites. Journal of Polymer Science Part B: Polymer Physics, 43(14), 1785-1793

Novel thermosetting poly[-oligo(ethylene glycol) diacrylate]-sodium montmorillonite nanocomposites containing a range of clay volume fractions were prepared by an in situ polymerization method. X-ray diffraction showed that the basal plane spacing of... Read More about Morphology and elastic modulus of novel poly oligo(ethylene glycol) diacrylate -montmorillonite nanocomposites.

Interlayer structure and bonding in nonswelling primary amine intercalated clays (2005)
Journal Article
Greenwell, H., Harvey, M., Boulet, P., Bowden, A., Coveney, P., & Whiting, A. (2005). Interlayer structure and bonding in nonswelling primary amine intercalated clays. Macromolecules, 38(14), 6189-6200. https://doi.org/10.1021/ma0503817

Preparation of industrially useful clay-polymer nanocomposite materials often requires the dispersal of clay particles within a polymer matrix. The degree to which the clay particles may be dispersed has an effect on the resultant properties of the m...

A stereoselective synthesis of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatrienes utilising 4,4,6-trimethyl-2-vinyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane as a two-carbon alkenyl building block (2005)
Journal Article
Lightfoot, A., Twiddle, S., & Whiting, A. (2005). A stereoselective synthesis of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatrienes utilising 4,4,6-trimethyl-2-vinyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane as a two-carbon alkenyl building block. Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry, 3(17), 3167-3172. https://doi.org/10.1039/b507900d

A number of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatrienes of varying alkene geometries were stereoselectively prepared from just two starting materials: iodobenzene and 4,4,6-trimethyl-2-vinyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane via a series of Heck, Suzuki-Miyaura and stereocontr...

Absolute stereochemistry assignment of N-phosphorylimine-derived aza-Diels-Alder adducts with TDDFF CD calculations (2005)
Journal Article
Di Bari, L., Guillarme, S., Hermitage, S., Jay, D., Pescitelli, G., & Whiting, A. (2005). Absolute stereochemistry assignment of N-phosphorylimine-derived aza-Diels-Alder adducts with TDDFF CD calculations. Chirality, 17(6), 323-331

N-Phosphorylimines undergo Lewis acid-catalyzed Diels-Alder reactions with Danishefsky's diene. Application of the chiral catalyst zinc (II)- (S)-BINOL results in good-to-low asymmetric induction but poor chemical conversion. However, the absolute st...
