New Reaction Technologies for Organic Synthesis and Curriculum Development

该项目致力于开发新的催化有机反应方法，以高效经济地获得各种合成有用的有机化合物。这些计划研究的重点是设计和执行新的催化不对称C-C键形成反应，提供多功能的对映体富集合成子，应用于广泛的合成活动。通过这个奖项，有机和大分子化学项目支持了匹兹堡大学化学系斯科特·g·纳尔逊教授的研究。斯科特·g·纳尔逊教授和他的同事将研究合成重要有机中间体的新方法，并开发合成天然和非天然产品的新策略。该项目对化学和制药行业具有相当重要的意义，因为它可能影响有机分子的制备方式。

This project is focused on developing new catalyzed organic reaction methodology to access a variety of synthetically useful organic compounds efficiently and economically. The focal point of these planned investigations is on the design and execution of new catalytic asymmetric C-C bond forming reactions that deliver versatile enantioenriched synthons with applications in a wide range of synthesis activities. With this award, the Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Program is supporting the research of Professor Scott G. Nelson, of the Department of Chemistry at University of Pittsburgh. Professor Scott G. Nelson and his co-workers will be studying new methods to synthesize important organic intermediates and developing novel strategies for the synthesis of natural and unnatural products. The project is of considerable significance to the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, as it could impact how organic molecules are prepared.
