Organic Transformations of n2-Arene Complexes

本论文的研究重点是利用有机膦(II)的氮芳烃络合物对芳烃进行脱芳构化反应。Os(II)激活了芳香族体系的亲电加成反应，为脱芳构化和芳香族体系制备多环有机化合物提供了一种强有力的新的合成方法。有了这个更新奖，合成有机计划支持了弗吉尼亚大学化学系W·迪恩·哈曼博士的研究。哈曼教授将专注于确定过渡金属，特别是作为有机合成的脱芳香剂的芳香族(II)配合物的作用。

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.
