The Chemical Synthesis Program of the NSF Chemistry division supports the research of Professor Abigail G. Doyle of the Department of Chemistry at Princeton University. Professor Doyle and her students develop new reagents and strategies for nucleophilic fluorination. Fluorine is an essential constituent of myriad drugs, agrochemicals and materials that are crucial to public healthcare and industry. However, the tools to selectively install fluorine into organic molecules are either limited or in some cases nonexistent. Specifically, current methods for nucleophilic fluorination often rely on harsh conditions with traditional reagents resulting in low reactivity, selectivity and/or tolerance to other functional groups. This research leads to the invention of new latent HF sources for catalysis, the design of general strategies that enable mild and selective C-F bond formation, and the preparation of valuable fluorine-containing synthons for chemical synthesis. These strategies are also adapted for the synthesis of radiolabeled small molecules for use in positron emission tomography (PET), an important diagnostic tool for imaging the brain. The students supported under this program receive training in research, writing, communication skills, and mentoring. Through various programs, Professor Doyle recruits and mentors students from groups traditionally underrepresented in the STEM disciplines. Professor Doyle organizes the Princeton University Student Invited Lecture Series; she and her students participate in outreach activities to encourage early engagement in the sciences.The key focus of this research is the development of new methods for nucleophilic C-F bond formation enabled by novel strategies for in situ generation of HF from abundant, stable fluoride reagents. These synthetic methods offer routes that are efficient, mild, selective, and environmentally benign, utilizing either organocatalysis or transition metal catalysis. Researchers in the Doyle group and in the greater chemical community are able to apply these methods to construct elusive and desirable compounds of interest to the pharmaceutical and biomedical fields. This research program also creates opportunities for growth and promotes the advancement of underrepresented groups in the sciences through participation in diversity research programs, women in science events, and outreach activities to children from underserved communities.

NSF 化学部的化学合成计划支持普林斯顿大学化学系 Abigail G. Doyle 教授的研究。多伊尔教授和她的学生开发了亲核氟化的新试剂和策略。氟是对公共医疗保健和工业至关重要的多种药物、农用化学品和材料的重要组成部分。然而，将氟选择性地安装到有机分子中的工具要么有限，要么在某些情况下不存在。具体而言，当前的亲核氟化方法通常依赖于使用传统试剂的苛刻条件，导致对其他官能团的反应性、选择性和/或耐受性较低。这项研究导致了用于催化的新型潜在 HF 源的发明、能够温和且选择性地形成 C-F 键的一般策略的设计以及用于化学合成的有价值的含氟合成子的制备。这些策略还适用于合成放射性标记小分子，用于正电子发射断层扫描（PET），这是一种重要的大脑成像诊断工具。该计划支持的学生接受研究、写作、沟通技巧和指导方面的培训。通过各种项目，多伊尔教授从传统上在 STEM 学科中代表性不足的群体中招募和指导学生。多伊尔教授组织普林斯顿大学学生特邀讲座系列； 她和她的学生参加外展活动，以鼓励早期参与科学。这项研究的重点是开发亲核 C-F 键形成的新方法，通过从丰富、稳定的氟化物试剂原位生成 HF 的新策略来实现。这些合成方法利用有机催化或过渡金属催化，提供了高效、温和、选择性和环境友好的路线。道尔小组和更大的化学界的研究人员能够应用这些方法来构建制药和生物医学领域感兴趣的难以捉摸和理想的化合物。该研究计划还通过参与多样性研究计划、妇女参与科学活动以及针对服务不足社区儿童的外展活动，创造成长机会并促进科学领域代表性不足群体的进步。
