US-Hungary Joint Fund Research on Superacid-catalysed Transformations

这项由塞格德大学的Mihaly Bartok博士和南加州大学的George Olah博士合作开展的美国-匈牙利合作研究项目的主要目标是对二醇和环醚这两种重要的含氧有机化合物在超强酸中的转化进行系统研究。拟议的研究将包括对立体异构体和氘标记化合物的研究，目的是获得有关发生转变的机制的信息。根据这些观察结果，可以预期某些化合物（羰基化合物、不饱和醇、二烯）的选择性合成。这些结果将有助于碳正离子的化学研究。该项目的资金由设在布达佩斯的美国-匈牙利联合基金按照既定的指导方针发放。

The primary objective of this US-Hungary cooperative research project between Dr. Mihaly Bartok, University of Szeged and George Olah, University of Southern California is to carry out systematic studies on the transformations in superacids of diols and cyclic ethers, two important groups of oxygen-containing organic compounds. The proposed research will include the studies of stereoisomers and deuterium-labelled compounds with the aim of getting information on the mechanism of the transformations taking place. Based on these observations selective synthesis of certain compounds (carbonyl compounds, unsaturated alcohols, dienes) can be expected. The results will contribute to the chemistry of carbocations. Funds for the project are awarded through the U.S.-Hungary Joint Fund, Budapest in accordance with established guidelines.
