Summary on Grant Application Form |
The proposed research will consider the possibility of using auxiliaries which are both rcemic and catalytic. The first aspect of the work will consider an enzyme-catalysed asymmetric acylation of a racemic auxiliary. Standard chiral auxiliaries will be used in their racemic forms, as well as other possibilities which could be looked at.In order for a catalytic reaction to be achieved, the substrate must react more quickly in the presence of the auxiliary. The electronic deactivation of enoic acids upon deprotonation is developed as a theme.These ideas are combined in efforts towards Diels Alder reactions, although other reactions are also outlined.
