Synthetic Organosulfur Chemistry

“合成有机项目”资助了纽约州立大学奥尔巴尼分校化学系埃里克·布洛克博士的研究。布洛克博士将继续研究硫的有机化合物的化学性质。主要关注的领域包括开发用于有机合成的有用的新型含硫试剂，研究洋葱中不寻常的有机硫化合物的结构、合成和反应，以及研究重要但很少被研究的有机硫化合物类别。将研究一类新型试剂，该试剂允许通过“迭代Diels-Alder反应”控制含碳环的生长。人们将尝试合成聚丙烯腈，这种化合物是一种线性分子，含有并排的熔融苯环，在聚合物（C4H2）极值下，它被预测为电导体。相关试剂将用于开发一种新的融合环戊二烯的合成方法和一种新的单线态二硫的生成和捕获催化工艺。

The Synthetic Organic Program is funding the research of Dr. Eric Block of the Department of Chemistry at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Albany. Dr. Block will continue his studies on the chemistry of the organic compounds of sulfur. Major areas of concern include the development of useful new sulfur-containing reagents for organic synthesis, the investigation of the structure, synthesis and reactions of unusual organosulfur compounds from onion and the study of important but little studied classes of organosulfur compounds. A novel class of reagents that permit the controlled growth of carbon-containing rings through "iterative Diels-Alder reactions" will be studied. Syntheses will be attempted that will afford polyacenes, compounds that are linear molecules containing side-by-side fused benzene rings, which, in the polymer (C4H2)n extreme, have been predicted to be electrical conductors. Related reagents will be used to develop a new synthesis of fused cyclopentadienes and a novel, catalytic process for the generation and trapping of singlet disulfur.
