DateApril 6, 2021Hypervalent iodine (HVI) reagents are employed in many different reaction types in organic chemistry. Despite the utility of such reagents, the application of HVI reagents, especially phenyliodonium diacetate (PIDA), has been limited due to its perceived poor solubility in a variety of solvents…Presenter

DateAugust 21, 2022Nitriles are a versatile functional group in organic chemistry that are often intermediates in organic synthesis. Within this study we researched different methods in which nitrile groups are attached to different electrophiles through the use of organocuprate species…Presenter
Speakers
- DateAugust 21, 2022Hypervalent iodide (HVI) reagents have been shown to be useful in synthetic organic transformations ranging from oxidations to C-C bond formation. Many of these transformations use the commercially available hypervalent iodine(III) reagent phenyliodonium diacetate (PIDA)…

DateMarch 29, 2023Trichomoniasis is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases caused by the protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis. This protozoan is not able to synthesize purine and pyrimidine rings, hence it scaveages nucleosides from the host cells, and obtains nucleobases through salvage pathway enzymes…Presenter
- DateMarch 20, 2024In this study, our research group presents an advancement in hypervalent iodine (HVI) chemistry, addressing the long-standing issue of limited solubility of HVI reagents in nonpolar solvents…
