Synthesis of Quinols and Quinol Derived Products Using Organocadmium Reagents

部分由本科生进行的这项研究的重点是发展使用有机镉试剂的合成方法。不对称对苯二酚、多取代对苯二酚和烷基化对苯二酚是拟合成的目标分子。通过这项本科院校研究奖(RUI)，有机和高分子化学项目正在支持黎巴嫩山谷学院化学系的Carl T.Wigal博士的研究和教育努力。Wigal教授将专注于开发使用有机镉试剂合成苯二酚和苯二酚的方法学。这些研究的结果将为化学和制药工业中重要的新材料和天然产品的设计合成提供基础。威格尔博士将在本科生的帮助下开展这项研究。

The focus of this research, carried out , in part, by undergraduate students, is the development of synthetic methodology using organocadmium reagents. Asymmetric quinols, polysubstituted hydroquinones and alkylated quinones are the target molecules to be prepared. With this Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) award, the Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Program is supporting the research and educational efforts of Dr. Carl T. Wigal of the Department of Chemistry at Lebanon Valley College. Professor Wigal will focus his work on developing methodology for the use of organocadmium reagent for the synthesis of quinols and quinones. The The results from these studies will provide the basis for designed syntheses of new materials and natural products important to the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Dr. Wigal will carry out the research with the help of undergraduate students.
