Chemically modified sporopollenin as a solid support for heterogeneous catalysts (2019)
Thesis
Abimbade, S. F. (2019). Chemically modified sporopollenin as a solid support for heterogeneous catalysts. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4222418

Application of the principles of ‘Green Chemistry’ has been a focus in recent years in the synthesis of fine chemicals, and solid-phase catalysts are useful tools in that endeavour compared to stoichiometric reagents. Another important principle of ‘... Read More about Chemically modified sporopollenin as a solid support for heterogeneous catalysts.

Novel applications of surface-modified sporopollenin exine capsules (2013)
Thesis
Huang, Y. (2013). Novel applications of surface-modified sporopollenin exine capsules. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4215614

The external shell (exine) of plant spores and pollen grains is composed of sporopollenin, which is an organic polymer renowned for its exceptional resistance to physical and chemical attack. The resilience of sporopollenin to high temperature, press... Read More about Novel applications of surface-modified sporopollenin exine capsules.

Analogues of bredinin: Synthesis of 5-hydroxyimidazoles from acyclic precursors (2008)
Thesis
Middleton, D. F. (2008). Analogues of bredinin: Synthesis of 5-hydroxyimidazoles from acyclic precursors. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4208664

Compared to 1-substituted-5-aminoimidazoles relatively few 1-substituted-5-hydroxyimidazoles have been reported; however, an interesting 1-substituted-5-hydroxyimidazole is the immunosuppressive agent bredinin, which shows antiviral, antimalarial, an...
