RUI: Phenyl Selenide Transfer Radical Reactions

9406706 Byers本研究的重点是利用有机硒化物产生的自由基开发新的碳-碳键形成反应。由于苯基硒化物基团的特定反应性，这种方法将被用来合成几种重要的有机化合物，如氨基酸，丁内酯和特窗酸。 有了这个更新RUI奖，合成有机计划是支持博士杰弗里H。明德学院化学系的拜尔斯。拜尔斯教授将把他的研究重点放在新的碳-碳键形成反应的发展上，这是有机化学中最重要的反应之一，使用有机硒化物产生的自由基。

9406706 Byers The focus of this research is the development of new carbon-carbon bond forming reactions using free-radicals generated from organoselenides. Due to the specific reactivity of the phenyl selenide group, this methodology will be utilized to synthesize several important classes of organic compounds such as the amino acids, the butanolides, and the tetronic acids. With this Renewal RUI award, the Synthetic Organic Program is supporting the research of Dr. Jeffrey H. Byers of the Department of Chemistry of Middlebury College. Professor Byers will focus his research on development of new carbon-carbon bond forming reactions, one of the most important classes of reactions in organic chemistry, using free-radicals generated from organoselenides.
