IRES: International Chemistry Research Experience for Students in Vietnam

OISE-0744375(普拉特，L.M.-菲斯克大学)IRES：越南学生的国际化学研究经历在三年的时间里，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了解，并为工业规模开发绿色有机锂化学。拟议的研究建立在现有研究项目以及过去和现有教育和培训倡议的基础上，这些倡议是由菲斯克大学的美国私人投资机构与位于越南胡志明市的自然科学大学、技术大学和教育大学的外国私人投资机构合作开发的。有机锂化学研究项目将集中在锂化合物在环戊基甲醚(CPMe)中的溶解度、CPMe对强锂碱的稳定性、CPMe中烷基锂与酮的反应选择性以及二烷胺锂的无溶剂反应等实验和理论相关问题上。前期和深入的国家活动将为学生参与者提供一个丰富的场所，以获得文化和全球视角。刺激竞争性研究的实验计划(OIA/EPSCoR)共同资助了这笔赠款。

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.
