Synthesis of Novel Porphyrins with Exocyclic Rings

这项研究的中心是制备可能的地球化学中间体，这些中间体可以用来模拟在有机沉积物中发现的不寻常的岩卟啉结构的形成。建议合成的目标化合物包括环烷基卟啉、脱氧叶丙基苯基卟啉、Meso、β-乙基卟啉、含稠合外环的石油卟啉和新型的卟啉二聚体。%有了这个RUI奖，合成有机计划支持伊利诺伊州立大学化学系的Timothy D.Lash博士的研究。拉什教授将把研究重点放在合成卟啉分子化石上。这项工作将使人们更好地了解有机沉积物的起源，并将使本科生参与到一个令人兴奋的研究领域。

This research is centered around the preparation of possible geochemical intermediates which can be used to model the formation of unusual petroporphyrin structures found in organic sediments. Compounds including cycloalkanoporphyrins, deoxophylloerythroetioporphyrin, meso,beta-ethanoporphyrins, petroporphyrins with fused exocyclic rings and novel porphyrin dimers are among the proposed synthetic targets. %%% With this RUI award, the Synthetic Organic Program is supporting the research of Dr. Timothy D. Lash of the Department of Chemistry at Illinois State University. Professor Lash will focus his research on the synthesis of porphyrin molecular fossils. The work will give a better understanding of the origins of organic sediments and will involve undergraduates in an exciting area of research.
