RUI: Phenyl Selenide Transfer Radical Reactions

9406706拜尔斯这项研究的重点是利用有机硒化合物产生的自由基开发新的碳-碳键形成反应。由于苯基硒的特殊反应性，这一方法将被用来合成几类重要的有机化合物，如氨基酸、丁内酯和四酸。有了这个更新的RUI奖，合成有机计划正在支持米德尔伯里学院化学系的杰弗里·H·拜尔斯博士的研究。拜尔斯教授将专注于利用有机硒化合物产生的自由基开发新的碳-碳键形成反应，这是有机化学中最重要的反应之一。

9406706 Byers The focus of this research is the development of new carbon-carbon bond forming reactions using free-radicals generated from organoselenides. Due to the specific reactivity of the phenyl selenide group, this methodology will be utilized to synthesize several important classes of organic compounds such as the amino acids, the butanolides, and the tetronic acids. With this Renewal RUI award, the Synthetic Organic Program is supporting the research of Dr. Jeffrey H. Byers of the Department of Chemistry of Middlebury College. Professor Byers will focus his research on development of new carbon-carbon bond forming reactions, one of the most important classes of reactions in organic chemistry, using free-radicals generated from organoselenides.
