MRI: Acquisition of A New 300 MHz NMR for Research and Student Training

在主要研究仪器（MRI）计划的支持下，中康涅狄格州立大学化学系将获得一台300 MHz核磁共振（NMR）光谱仪。该设备将使研究人员能够进行以下研究：a)合成手性钯(0)催化剂，用于将不饱和酮对映体还原为手性烯丙醇；b)用于手性高效液相色谱柱制造的大环合成受体的合成；C)苯和安息香的许多对称和不对称噻吩基衍生物的合成；D)配体二-2-吡啶酮在第一排过渡金属存在下的水化动力学。核磁共振（NMR）波谱是化学家用来研究分子结构的最有力的工具之一。它用于识别未知物质，表征分子内原子的特定排列，以及研究溶液中分子之间相互作用的动力学。获得最先进的核磁共振光谱仪是必不可少的化学家谁正在进行前沿研究。这些核磁共振研究的结果将对合成有机化学和聚合物化学产生影响。

With support from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, the Department of Chemistry at Central Connecticut State University will acquire a 300 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) Spectrometer. This equipment will enable researchers to carry out studies on a) the synthesis of chiral palladium(0) catalysts for the enantiomeric reduction of unsaturated ketones to chiral allylic alcohols; b) the synthesis of macrocyclic synthetic receptors to be used in chiral HPLC column manufacture; c) synthesis of many symmetric and asymmetric thienyl derivatives of benzil and benzoin; d) the kinetics of hydration of the ligand di-2-pyridyl ketone in the presence of first-row transition metals. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the most powerful tools available to chemists for the elucidation of the structure of molecules. It is used to identify unknown substances, to characterize specific arrangements of atoms within molecules, and to study the dynamics of interactions between molecules in solution. Access to state-of-the-art NMR spectrometers is essential to chemists who are carrying out frontier research. The results from these NMR studies will have an impact in synthetic organic chemistry and polymer chemistry.
