Cyclization of substituted thiosemicarbazones with α-bromo-4-cyanoacetophenone allows rapid single-step sustainable syntheses of 4-cyanophenyl-2-hydrazinylthiazoles libraries (30 examples, 66–79%). All show anticancer efficacy against HCT-116 and MCF... Read More about Design, and synthesis of selectively anticancer 4-cyanophenyl substituted thiazol-2-ylhydrazones.

Chemistry and Biodiversity, 19(11), Article e202200824. https://doi.org/10.1002/cbdv.202200824

Thiazole has been a key scaffold in antidiabetic drugs. In quest of new and more effective drugs a simple, efficient, high yielding (67–79 %) and convenient synthesis of arylidenehydrazinyl-4-methoxyphenyl)thiazoles is accomplished over two steps. Th...

Optimisation of Thimble simulations and quantum dynamics of multiple fields in real time (2022)
Journal Article
Woodward, S., Saffin, P. M., Mou, Z. G., & Tranberg, A. (2022). Optimisation of Thimble simulations and quantum dynamics of multiple fields in real time. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022(10), Article 82. https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP10%282022%29082

We apply the Generalised Thimble approach to the computation of exact path integrals and correlators in real-time quantum field theory. We first investigate the details of the numerical implementation and ways of optimizing the algorithm. We subseque...

The Alder-ene reaction of neat polyisobutylene (PIB) and maleic anhydride (MAA) to produce the industrially important lubricant additive precursor polyisobutylene succinic anhydride (PIBSA) is studied at 150-180 °C. Under anaerobic conditions with [P... Read More about Rate of Formation of Industrial Lubricant Additive Precursors from Maleic Anhydride and Polyisobutylene.

Identifying Chirality in Line Drawings of Molecules Using Imbalanced Dataset Sampler for a Multilabel Classification Task (2022)
Journal Article

Chirality, the ability of some molecules to exist as two non-superimposable mirror images, profoundly influences both chemistry and biology. Advances in deep learning enable the automatic recognition of chemical structure diagrams, however, studies o...
