Catalytic Dehydrative SN2' Reactions: Mechanistic and Synthetic Implications
Aaron Aponick,
Professor,
Department of Chemistry,
University of Florida,
Our lab has been exploring catalytic reactions of allylic and propargylic alcohols. In the presence of late transition metal catalysts, these compounds have been found to be excellent substrates for dehydrative substitution reactions. A variety of easily prepared diols and triols have been demonstrated to provide a broad array of structurally diverse products. In this talk, the development of the methodology, mechanistic studies, and synthetic applications will be presented.
