Catalysts for Asymmetric Phosphonylation and Synthetic Applications

本论文的研究重点包括高对映体过量羟基膦酸酯的合成、羟基膦酸酯的结构修饰以及通过钯偶联P（O）-H和P（O）-Cl体系合成膦酸酯。 为制备烯丙基羟基膦酸酯而开发的反应将应用于神经酰胺类似物的合成。 有了这个奖项，有机和高分子化学计划是支持克里斯托弗博士的研究。密苏里大学圣路易斯分校化学和生物化学系的溢出。 Spilling教授将把他的研究工作集中在开发醛的催化，不对称膦酰化的方法，以及发现烯丙基羟基膦酸酯用于合成生物活性分子的新转化。 该研究对药物化学和农业产业具有更广泛的影响。 此外，该项目将为本科生和研究生的培训提供一个极好的机会。

The focus of this research involves the synthesis of hydroxy phosphonates with high enantiomeric excess, the structural elaboration of hydroxy phosphonates and synthesis of phosphonates via palladium coupling to P(O)-H and P(O)-Cl systems. The reactions developed for the elaboration of allylic hydroxy phosphonates will be applied to the synthesis of ceramide analogs. With this award, the Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Program is supporting the research of Dr. Christopher D. Spilling in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Missouri-Saint Louis. Professor Spilling will focus his research efforts on developing methodology for the catalytic, asymmetric phosphonylation of aldehydes and on the discovery of new transformations of allylic hydroxy phosphonates for the synthesis of biologically active molecules. The research has broader impact for medicinal chemistry and the agricultural industry. Further, the project will provide an excellent opportunity for the training of undergraduate and graduate students.
