Summary on Grant Application Form
1. To obtain kinetic data for reactions initiated by solid carbonate and hydroxide bases for the alkylation of C-H , N-H, and O-H bonds over a large range of substrate acidities, and to deduce the rate-limiting steps.2. To investigate ways of increasing rates by pretreatment of the base or by addition of catalysts.
