B-S chemistry: investigating the Thioboration reaction

我们的研究计划的目标分为两个主要部分：(I)开发用于硼化反应的新化合物(在有机片段上添加E-B键，其中E=氢、硼、硫、硒、锡等)和(Ii)开发具有生物活性的硼和金属化合物。毫无疑问，我在本科院校的研究中所能产生的最重大影响是HQP的培训，即建立一个安全、有趣和富有成效的实验室，让学生来体验化学研究。这项建议涉及到合成和研究含有B-S键的新化合物，其中B-B基团来自合成有用的硼酸酯。B-S化合物的反应活性将在几种有机底物上进行考察，无论是否使用过渡金属催化剂和微波条件。所有新化合物都将进行潜在的抗真菌性能测试，因为我们正在寻找新的具有生物活性的硼化合物。

The aim of our research program is divided into two major sections: (i) the development of new compounds to be used for the borylation reaction (addition of E-B bonds to organic fragments, where E = hydrogen, boron, sulfur, selenium, tin, etc) and (ii) the development of biologically-active boron and metal compounds. Without question, the most significant impact I can make in research at an undergraduate institution involves the training of HQP, whereby establishing a safe, fun, and productive laboratory where students come to experience chemical research. This proposal deals with making and study new compounds containing a B-S bond, where the boron group is derived from synthetically useful boronate esters. Reactivity of B-S compounds will be investigated with a number of organic substrates with, and without, the use of transition metal catalysts and microwave mediated conditions. All new compounds will be tested for potential antifungal properties as we search to develop new biologically active boron compounds.
