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

9976636 French这个为期三年的奖项支持美国和瑞士在有机化学方面的合作研究，合作者是阿尔比恩学院的Andrew French和巴塞尔大学的托马斯沃思。 本研究涉及手性高价碘化合物作为不对称试剂的评价。 研究人员建议合成和表征新的碘烷试剂，它们的中间体，以及它们与含有碳-碳双键的化合物反应的产物。 NMR、MS和元素分析将被应用于这些研究中。该项目启动了与瑞士研究人员的新合作，并为一所以美国为主的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。 该项目利用了瑞士在手性高价碘化合物领域的专门知识。

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.
