M. Christina White是University of Illinois化学系的Associate Professor。White的文章产量不是很高，不到20篇，但质量挺高，除了分别有一篇OL和T外，全是JACS以上的好文章。总的来说她就做了一个反应C-H（绝大部分是allylic的C-H）到C-O。在这过程中，她发现亚砜是这个反应的很好的配体（全新的Pd的配体结构），并将这个反应做的很深入（也就是合成不同的底物），而且还在合成进行了运用（她那篇nature chemistry就这一个亮点）。最近，又将这一体系运用到C-N的合成中去。暂时还没有实现不对称的反应。估计她日后的工作方向就应该是合成手性亚砜，实现C-O的不对称合成，再做其他的C-X键。http://chem8.org/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=33308&rpid=205189&ordertype=0&page=14#pid205189

另外一位非常出色的美女化学家是Melanie S. Sanford，是 University of Michigan的化学教授。详见：http://www.umich.edu/~mssgroup/index.htm

 

Principal Investigator

Melanie Sanford grew up in Providence, RI. She received her undergraduate degree in chemistry from Yale University in 1996 where she worked with Professor Bob Crabtree studying C-F bond functionalization. She then moved to Caltech where she worked with Professor Bob Grubbs investigating the mechanism of ruthenium-catalyzed olefin metathesis reactions. After receiving her PhD in 2001, she worked with Professor Jay Groves at Princeton University as an NIH post-doctoral fellow studying metalloporphyrin-catalyzed functionalization of olefins. Melanie has been a professor at the University of Michigan since the summer of 2003. Curriculum Vitae
