The purpose of this experiment is to study heteroaryl compounds; they are valuable building blocks in medicinal chemistry and chemistry industry. A heterocyclic halide reacts with tropinone molecule with palladium catalyst under basic conditions to give our desired product for testing. The reaction undergoes microwave-irradiation, acid- base extraction and rotary evaporation to purify, and NMR to evaluate the product’s structure. Heteroaryl compound reactions have much potential to be further explored as molecules used in cancer research."en-USHeterocyclic compoundsEducation research laboratoriesPresentation
