Exploring the Frontiers of Free-Radical Chemistry: Self-Terminating Radical Reactions

自终止自由基反应是化学家合成武器库中的一个新概念。这项由首席研究人员发明的创新技术具有巨大的合成范围，但在很大程度上尚未开发。本提案旨在基于这一概念发展新的反应；通过使用实验室和计算技术来探索它们在有机合成中的通用性和多功能性。通过这种方式，将对前沿技术和突破性科学做出重大贡献。

Self-terminating free-radical reactions are a new concept in the chemist's synthetic armory. This innovative technique, invented by the chief investigators, has enormous synthetic scope that is yet largely untapped. This proposal seeks to develop novel reactions based on this concept; to explore their generality and versatility in organic synthesis through the use of both laboratory and computational techniques. In this manner, singificant contributions to frontier technologies and breakthrough science will be made.
