Free Radical and Photochemical Reactions of OrganophosphorusSystems

有机动力学项目的这笔赠款支持犹他大学韦斯利·G·本特鲁德博士的继续工作。这项研究将有助于更好地理解有机磷化合物反应的基本过程。本特鲁德博士将进行的实验将集中在三价和五价有机磷衍生物的光化学反应和自由基反应上。努力的目的是对完整的四价磷自由基的反应有一个新的理解。光谱和产物研究将被用来确定反应的范围、机理和结构-反应模式，在这些反应中，这些自由基导致结构新颖的产品。

This grant from the Organic Dynamics Program supports the continuing work of Dr. Wesley G. Bentrude at the University of Utah. The investigation will result in an improved understanding of the fundamental processes involved in reactions of organic phosphorus compounds. The experiments to be carried out by Dr. Bentrude will focus on photochemical and free radical reactions of both tricovalent and pentacovalent organophosphorus derivatives. Efforts will be aimed at gaining a new understanding of the reactions of intact tetracovalent phosphoranyl radicals. Spectroscopic and product studies will be employed to define the scope, mechanism, and structure-reactivity patterns of reactions in which these radicals lead to structurally novel products.
