• Photochemical oxidative cyclisation of stilbenes and stilbenoids : the Mallory-reaction 

      Jørgensen, Kåre B. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-06-14)
      After Mallory described in 1964 the use of iodine as catalyst for the photochemical cyclisation of stilbenes, this reaction has proven its effectiveness in the synthesis of phenanthrenes, other PAHs and phenacenes with a ...
    • Photochemical synthesis of chrysenols 

      Jørgensen, Kåre B.; Joensen, Majbritt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-08)
      Chrysenols are formed together with other metabolites when chrysene is metabolized in living organisms. The principal metabolites are needed as pure compounds for reference materials and standards to study various aspects ...
    • Regioselective Syntheses and Functionalizations of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: Directed Metalation and C─H Activation 

      Kancherla, Sindhu (PhD thesis UiS;484, Doctoral thesis, 2019-12)
      Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are well-known as pollutants and carcinogenic compounds. Lately, considering their opto-electronic and photophysical properties, PAHs are being developed as materials to be used in ...
    • Synthesis of alkylated phenanthrenes 

      Bjelland, Hege Kristoffersen (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)
      This thesis captures the process of synthesizing gram quantities of the compounds 2,3-dimethylphenanthrene (7a), 2,7-dimethylphenanthrene (7b) and 1,7-dimethylphenanthrene (7c) to be used in the EGGTOX project. The EGGTOX ...
    • Synthesis of tubastrine analogues as potential antifouling agents 

      Råken, Maria (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-07-12)
      In recent years, several isolated natural products containing a guanidine group have proven to have antibacterial effects. Preparation of such molecules synthetically is therefore highly relevant for mitigation and control ...
