Men and perinatal depression (2016)
Journal Article

James Costello describes his own experiences as a ‘fellow traveler in a foreign land’, supporting partners of women with perinatal depression

Conformational analysis of triphenylphosphine ligands in stereogenic monometallic complexes: Tools for predicting the preferred configuration of the triphenylphosphine rotor (2015)
Journal Article

© The Royal Society of Chemistry 2015. The extension of our simple model for predicting the propeller configuration of a triphenylphosphine ligand co-ordinated to achiral metal centres to include stereogenic metal systems is described. By considerin...

Stereoselective syntheses of substituted succinic acid derivatives of the iron chiral auxiliary [(η5-C5H5)Fe(CO)(PPh3)] (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014 Elsevier Ltd. A range of alkyl- or aryl-substituted iron succinoyl complexes, incorporating the iron chiral auxiliary [(η5-C5H5)Fe(CO)(PPh3)], were prepared in high regio- and diastereoselectivities by employing four successful strategies: (i)...

Bi(III) Catalysed O-acylative cleavage of 2,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran: A substrate dependent borderline mechanism (2005)
Journal Article

The Bi(III) catalysed O-acylative cleavage of cis- and trans-2,5- dimethyltetrahydrofuran 4 with AcCl, BzCl or i-PrCOCl is stereochemically consistent with the operation of a concerted process (AND N), which proceeds via a stabilised carbocation or '...

Bi(III) halides as efficient catalysts for the O-acylative cleavage of tetrahydrofurans: An expeditious entry to tetralins (2005)
Journal Article

The mild (DCM/20°C), quantitative, regioselective, O-acylative cleavage of tetrahydrofurans using organic acid halides with catalytic Bi(III) halides is reported. X-ray crystallography is used to rationalise the failure of the reaction in the case of...
