Theoretical and experimental investigations in chemistry: Part 1- SN2 Reactivity at C-6 in hexopyranosides, Part 2- Polarizability and raman intensities in hydrocarbons

In this thesis, two rather different types of problems were investigated. The first was a case of anomalous reactivity in the area of carbohydrate synthesis. Hexopyranosides having the galacto configuration (i.e. C-4?OR axial) display very low SN2 reactivities towards anionic nucleophiles, wherea...
