Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This research grant asks for a project studentship for three years to investigate transition metal activated reactions of sulfur dioxide and oxygen leading to organic sulfates. The final aim of this research is to realise a new catalytic reaction whereby alkenes, in the presence of S02/02 mixtures, are converted into 1,2-cyclic organic sulfates (1, see Scheme 2 in Case for Support). This reaction is equivalent to the long sort for goal of an effective aerobic epoxidation reaction. The programme will evolve around the synthesis and properties of soluble sulfate complexes of the platinum group metals and their reactions with unsaturated hydrocarbons (especially alkenes) in the presence of added sources of organic sulfate [NR4]2504. Nucleophilic additions of sulfate to coordinated alkenes under oxidising conditions will be developed. The viability of fast efficient catalysis will be investigated.
