Award Address (ACS Award for Research at an Undergraduate Institution, sponsored by Research Corporation). Vinylogous iminium salts as building blocks in organic synthesis

ORGN 8

John T. Gupton, jgupton@richmond.edu, Chemistry Department, University of Richmond, Gottwald Center for the Sciences, Richmond, VA 23173
For some time our research group has been investigating the preparation of vinylogous iminium salts, their reactivity, their utility in organic synthesis in general and their application to the synthesis of bioactive heterocyclic compounds in particular. A summary of our earlier studies will be presented along with current and ongoing work, which delineates the application of vinylogous iminium salts to the synthesis of bioactive, pyrrole containing marine natural products.
