چکیده
1. Student: Joyce Biaco Major: Chemistry Mentor: Timothy Barker Department: Chemistry and Biochemistry Title: Lewis Acid-Catalyzed Minisci Reactions Many pharmaceutical drugs contain at least one nitrogen atom. If that nitrogen atom is part of a ring with carbon atoms it is called a heterocycle. The ability to easily modify a heterocycle is useful to medicinal chemists because they are then able to create many drug candidates with slightly different structures and physical properties. We are proposing a method to selectively modify heterocycles that would be useful for the synthesis of new drug candidates.
