Electrochemical Generation of Reactive Intermediates

本研究的重点是开发用于产生活性中间体的电化学过程。自由基捕集，使用1，2-乙硅烷作为1，2-dications和1，2 dications，quinodimethanes和相关的中性实体的合成，生成1，3-偶极物种，乙硅烷的电催化氧化，以及使用微乳液作为电解溶剂，都将进行研究。用微乳液代替普通溶剂具有环境友好合成的潜力。有了这个更新的奖项，有机和高分子化学计划正在支持韦斯兰大学化学系的Albert J. Fry博士的研究。弗莱教授的工作重点将是开发基于电化学生成和捕获各种活性有机中间体的新合成应用。该项目的成功可能会导致在工业过程中取代传统溶剂的条件。

The focus of this research is the development of electrochemical processes for the generation of reactive intermediates. Radical trapping, the use of 1,2-disilanes as synthons for 1,2-dications and 1,2 dications, the synthesis of quinodimethanes and related neutral entities, the generation of 1,3-dipolar species, the electrocatalytic oxidation of disilanes, and the use of microemulsions as solvents for electrolysis will all be investigated. The replacement of common solvents with microemulsions has the potential for environmentally friendly synthesis. With this renewal award, the Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Program is supporting the research of Dr. Albert J. Fry of the Department of Chemistry at Weslyan University. Professor fry will focus his work on developing new synthetic applications based upon electrochemical generation and trapping of a variety of reactive organic intermediates. Success of the project could lead to conditions that replace conventional solvents in industrial processes.
