2022Inamori Research GrantsScience & Engineering
Thank you very much for selecting me for the Inamori Research Grant. I would like to develop new methods to construct new heterocyclic rings through highly reactive intermediates "Aryne".
We have developed benzdiyne equivalents having o-silylaryl triflate and o-iodoaryl triflate moieties. Treatment of the benzdiyne equivalents with fluoride ion and following activation with a silylmethyl Grignard reagent resulted in sequential aryne reactions without damaging reactive functional groups.
