U.S.-Switzerland Cooperative Research: Chiral Hypervalent Iodine Chemistry

9976636French 这个为期三年的奖项支持阿尔比恩学院的安德鲁·弗伦奇和巴塞尔大学的托马斯·沃斯之间在有机化学方面的美国-瑞士合作研究。 该研究涉及手性高价碘化合物作为不对称试剂的评估。 研究人员建议合成并表征新的碘烷试剂、其中间体以及它们与含有碳-碳双键的化合物的反应产物。 核磁共振、质谱和元素分析将应用于这些研究。该项目启动了与瑞士研究人员的新合作，并为美国本科院校的助理教授及其本科生提供了国际研究机会。 学生将获得有机化学的研究经验，包括手性非外消旋化合物的多步合成以及合成方法学。 该项目利用了瑞士在手性高价碘化合物领域的专业知识。

9976636French This three-year award supports US-Swiss collaborative research in organic chemistry between Andrew French of Albion College and Thomas Wirth of the University of Basel. The research involves evaluation of chiral hypervalent iodine compounds as asymmetric reagents. The investigators propose to synthesize and characterize new iodinane reagents, their intermediates, and the product of their reactions with compounds containing carbon-carbon double bonds. NMR, MS and elemental analysis will be applied in these studies.This project initiates a new collaboration with Swiss researchers and provides an international research opportunity to an assistant professor at a predominantly US undergraduate institution and to his undergraduate students. Students will gain research experiences in organic chemistry, including multistep synthesis of chiral nonracemic compounds, and in synthetic methodology. The project takes advantage of Swiss expertise in the area of chiral hypervalent iodine compounds.
