IRES: International Chemistry Research Experience for Students in Vietnam

在三年的时间里，这个国际学生研究经验（IRES）项目将每年为9名美国本科生和研究生提供为期9周的国际研究经验，以增加化学界对有机锂化学的理解，并为工业规模发展绿色有机锂化学。拟议的研究建立在现有的研究项目以及过去和现在的教育和培训计划的基础上，这些计划是由菲斯克大学的美国私家侦探和位于越南胡志明市的自然科学大学、科技大学和教育学大学的外国私家侦探共同开发的。有机锂化学研究项目将重点研究锂化合物在环戊基甲基醚中的溶解度、环戊基甲基醚对强锂碱的稳定性、环戊基甲基醚中烷基锂与酮类反应的选择性以及锂二烷基酰胺的无溶剂反应等实验和理论相关问题。国家前和国家活动将为学生参与者提供丰富的场所，以获得文化和全球视野。刺激竞争性研究实验计划（OIA/EPSCoR）共同资助了这项拨款。

OISE-0744375 (Pratt, L.M. - Fisk University)IRES: International Chemistry Research Experience for Students in VietnamOver a three-year period this International Research Experience for Students (IRES) project will annually provide nine U.S. undergraduate and graduate students with a nine-week international research experience to increase the chemistry communities understanding of organolithium chemistry and developing green organolithium chemistry for industrial scale-up. The proposed research builds on existing research projects and past and existing education and training initiatives developed collaboratively by the U.S. PI from Fisk University and the foreign PIs from the University of Natural Sciences, the University of Technology, and the University of Pedagogy all located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The organolithium-chemistry research projects will focus on experimental and theoretical relevant issues pertaining to the solubility of lithium compounds in cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME), the stability of CPME toward strong lithium bases, the selectivity of alkyllithium reactions with ketones in CPME, and solvent-free reactions of lithium dialkylamides. Pre- and in country activities will provide the student participants a rich venue to gain cultural and global perspectives.The Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (OIA/EPSCoR) co-funded this grant.
