Stereoselective Coupling

本研究的重点是手性分子合成方法学的发展。前手性自由基的反应，涉及自由基-自由基偶联的持久自由基和瞬时自由基。通过这一奖项，合成有机项目支持了加州大学圣克鲁斯分校化学系年轻研究员丽贝卡·布拉斯劳博士的研究。利用自由基化学，Braslau教授将专注于开发合成方法来制备光学活性化合物。

The focus of this research is the development of methodology for chiral molecule synthesis. Reactions of prochiral free radicals involving radical-radical coupling of persistent radicals with transient radicals will be examined. With this award, the Synthetic Organic Program is supporting the research of Dr. Rebecca Braslau, a young investigator, in the Department of Chemistry at the University of California-Santa Cruz. Using free radical chemistry, Professor Braslau will focus her work on the development of synthetic methodology for the preparation of optically active compounds.
