Summary
With support from the Chemical Mechanism, Function, and Properties Program in the Division of Chemistry, a research team at the University of Illinois at Chicago are developing new reactions to rapidly assemble novel molecules through unconventional strategies using N-alkenylnitrones and N,O-dialkenylhydroxylamines as reactive intermediates. The rearrangement reactivity of these intermediates is being controlled to form more complex molecules with defined three-dimensional structure. Simple modular routes to generate N-alkenylnitrones and N,O-dialkenylhydroxylamines from readily available reag
