Thesis Title: Regioselective, Hydrazine-free Synthesis of Substituted Pyrazoles by Oxidative N–N Bond Formation.
• Developed a new method to make pyrazole via copper catalyzed oxidative N– N Bond Formation. • Optimized the reaction conditions and explored substrate scope. • Participated in the group meeting and discussion with other members. • Learned use of ElectraSyn 2.0 in organic synthesis. • Developed a new strategy to reduce N-nitroso compounds electrochemically.
2017 – 2018 University of Alberta, Canada
Supervisor: Prof. Derrick L. J. Clive
• Collaborated with labmate to synthesize meta arylsulfanyl- and meta- (alkylsulfanyl)phenols from cyclohexane-1,3-diones. • Prepared and characterized different substrate scope of the reaction. • Participated in writing the paper. • Involved in synthesis of biologically active indolizidines and quinolizidines through a simple new method using proline as a starting material.
