Synthetic Organosulfur Chemistry

合成有机计划正在资助纽约州立大学奥尔巴尼分校化学系的埃里克·布洛克博士的研究。布洛克博士将继续他对硫磺有机化合物化学的研究。主要关注的领域包括用于有机合成的有用的新的含硫试剂的开发，从洋葱中提取的特殊有机硫化合物的结构、合成和反应的研究，以及重要但很少被研究的一类有机硫化合物的研究。将研究一类新的试剂，它允许通过“迭代Diels-Alder反应”控制含碳环的生长。将尝试合成聚苯，这种化合物是含有并排稠合苯环的线性分子，在聚合物(C4H2)n的极端情况下，已被预测为导电体。相关试剂将被用于开发一种新的稠合环戊二烯的合成方法和一种新的生成和捕获单线态二硫的催化工艺。

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.
