The abstract is the summary of three different projects all centered around the generalidea of catalysis which is the general theme of research in the Michaelis laboratory. The firstproject focuses on development of a new heterogeneous catalyst for selective catalysis. In theMichaelis lab, we were interested in the potential of nanoparticle catalysts for regioselectivetransformations. We showed that polymer supported ruthenium nanoparticles performed as areliable catalyst for regioselective reduction of azide to amine. In our study of regioselectivereduction of multiple azide containing substrates, we observed that in presence of ourruthenium nanoparticle catalysts, the least sterically hindered azide group reduced to aminefunctional …
