SYNTHESIS OF NITROALCOHOLS VIA HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSIS

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为中心，不一定是研究者所在机构。这项工作将研究更有效的方法合成硝基醇，这是作为前体生产的建议四酯大环。用于产生上述醇的许多文献方法得到低收率的不纯产物。该实验室希望扩大他们在硅胶介导合成方面的工作。他们希望改变氨基硅烷化合物的特性，并可能创造出新型聚合物，作为硝基醇形成过程中的可回收催化剂。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This work will examine more efficient methods for the synthesis of nitroalcohols, which serve as precursors for the production of the proposed tetraester macrocycle. Many of the literature methods for the creation of the above alcohols give low yields of impure products. The lab wishes to expand their work of silica gel mediated synthesis. They hope to change the characteristics of aninosilane compounds and perhaps create novel polymers that could serve as recyclable catalysts in the formation of nitroalcohols.
