Improving late stage functionalization of molecular scaffolds via CH activation - implementation of ultrasound and flow chemistry techniques KU Leuven
Sulfur is a ubiquitous element in physiologically active small molecules. With 259 unique FDA-approved structures, it represents more marketed therapeutics than any other third row element. Almost half of this figure comprises the sulfur atom in an oxygenated state, and this fraction spans over six different product classes. The synthesis and usage of high-oxidation-state sulfur species form the centerpiece of this thesis, on the one hand ...
Exploring the chemistry of N-hydroxypyrazinones KU Leuven
Although industrial processes readily use reactive and dangerous gases as platform chemicals, a different picture is seen in lab-scale synthesis. The difficult-to-handle nature of gaseous reagents in combination with stringent safety requirements have posed a significant barrier for research scientists to conduct chemical reactions with gases on a regular basis.
In 2011, the Skrydstrup group launched the two-chamber reactor as a safe ...

Approximation properties for discrete groups. KU Leuven
Approximation properties for groups lie at the intersection of functional analysis and geometric group theory, which are central areas in modern mathematics. Such properties often act as bridges between these two fields. Probably, the most wellknown approximation property is amenability, which was introduced in 1929 by von Neumann in his work on the Banach-Tarski paradox and has been a key ingredient in several groundbreaking results since. ...
