New Strategies for Catalytic C-H Bond Activation Reactions

Chae S.教授马奎特大学的易受化学系化学催化项目的支持，研究过渡金属催化的C-H键活化反应的合成和机理方面。将合成多核氢化铼催化剂并用于实现这一目标。本研究的另一个目的是设计和使用手性季铵盐-恶唑啉催化剂进行不对称C-H键氧化反应。催化C-H键氧化反应广泛应用于从普遍存在的烃类化合物制备含氧化合物的工业生产。拟议的研究将有助于我们在均相催化方面的知识，并将促进重要工业过程中节能和环境相容催化剂的开发。马奎特大学的学生将接受有机金属化学和均相催化方面的培训，并将接触到化学催化方面的国际交流经验。来自奥尔康州立大学和密尔沃基当地社区学院的少数民族学生将参与这项研究。

Professor Chae S. Yi of Marquette University is supported by the Chemical Catalysis Program in the Division of Chemistry to investigate the synthetic and mechanistic aspects of transition metal-catalyzed C-H bond activation reactions. Multinuclear ruthenium-hydride catalysts will be synthesized and used to achieve this objective. Another objective of the proposed research is to design and use chiral ruthenium-oxazoline catalysts for the asymmetric C-H bond oxidation reactions.Catalytic C-H bond oxidation reactions are extensively used for the industrial production of oxygenated compounds from ubiquitous hydrocarbon compounds. The proposed research will contribute to our knowledge in homogenous catalysis, and will advance the development of energy efficient and environmentally compatible catalysts for important industrial processes. Students at Marquette University will be trained in organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis and will be exposed to an international exchange experience in chemical catalysis. Minority students from Alcorn State University and the local community colleges in Milwaukee will be involved in this research.
