Thesis Title: Protodecarboxylations and The Flow Synthesis of Isomaleimides
Advisor: Dr. Mitchell Croatt
Abstract:
The palladium catalyzed protodecarboxylations of dienoic acids was redesigned for the hetero-dieneoic acid system: γ-ketoenoic acids. Through the synthesis substrates for this reaction, a method for the synthesis of isomaleimides was discovered.
