Emotional paths leading to opportunity desirability and feasibility beliefs through controllability

\u3cp\u3eExtant studies promote opportunity belief as an antecedent of entrepreneurial action. However, we do not sufficiently understand how beliefs about the desirability and feasibility of an entrepreneurial opportunity are formed. We argue that desirability and feasibility are related but distinct micro-foundations of entrepreneurial action formed through different cognitive-emotional mechanisms. Drawing on the appraisal tendency framework, we investigate the indirect effects of three basic emotions (anger, fear and happiness) on desirability and feasibility through the appraisal tendency of controllability. In an experimental study (N = 191), we find evidence for the distinctiveness and interconnectedness of desirability and feasibility beliefs. In addition, our findings show that desirability can be predicted by emotions through controllability, but we cannot predict feasibility through the same appraisal process. Our study seeks insights concerning how desirability and feasibility beliefs regarding an entrepreneurial opportunity are distinctively formed based on the inner cognitive and emotional processes of individuals.\u3c/p\u3

STRUCTURAL ANALOGUES OF THIOFLAVIN T - NEW SYNTHETIC APPROACH

Thioflavin T (ThT) is a benzothiazolium salt used to visualize and quantify the presence of amyloid plaques found in the brains of chronic neurodegenerative disease patients. Here we propose an effective one-pot approach for the synthesis of six Thioflavin T analogues via amidoalkylation/oxidation/alkylation sequence. The conditions for multicomponent reactions of benzothiazole or thiazole, alkyl chloroformates and N,N-dimethylaniline were studied and optimized
