Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This application is to develop new methods for making organic compounds of interest to all those involved in the synthetic chemistry. The highthroughput screening programmes of the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sector will benefit greatly as the goal is to alter the accepted outcome of reactions to efficiently achieve the 'wrong' products which are usually only present in trace amounts. This represents a significant increase, and therefore commercial advantage, in the options open to drug discovery by a dramatic improvement in available `building blocks'.The PhD student, based in the School of Natural Sciences at the University of Newcastle, will investigate the unique characteristics and fundamental chemistry of hypervalent iodine and exploit this to fulfil the aims of the project. The same characteristics will also allow the use of materials not typically suitable for synthetic applications, either by enhancing their reactivity or employing more industrially realistic conditions.
