Organic Transformations of n2-Arene Complexes

本论文的研究重点是芳烃的脱芳烃反应， 锇（II）的n2-芳烃配合物。 锇（II）激活芳香剂 系统亲电加成，并提供了一个强大的新的合成 脱芳构化的方法和芳族体系用于脱芳构化的用途 多环有机化合物的制备。有了这个更新的奖项， 合成有机计划正在支持W。院长 弗吉尼亚大学化学系的Harman博士说。 哈曼教授将把工作重点放在确定 过渡金属，特别是芳烃的锇（II）络合物，如 用于有机合成的脱芳烃剂。

The focus of this research is the dearomatization of aromatics by use of n2-arene complexes of osmium(II). The osmium(II) activates the aromatic system to electrophilic addition and provides a powerful new synthetic approach to dearomatization and the use of aromatic systems for the preparation of polycyclic organic compounds.With this renewal award, the Synthetic Organic Program is supporting the research of Dr. W. Dean Harman of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Virginia. Professor Harman will focus his work on determining the role of transition metals, specifically osmium(II) complexes of arenes, as dearomatizing agents for organic synthesis.
