מחקר
Research area - Reaction Mechanisms and Synthesis.
Major topics:
- [2,3]-Sigmatropic rearrangements of various allylic and propargylic sulfur esters. . Discovery and study of the well-known [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of allylic sulfenates to sulfoxides (the Mislow-Braverman-Evans Rearrangement), propargylic sulfenates to allenic sulfoxides, and of allylic and propargylic sulfinates to the corresponding sulfones.
- Diradical cyclization and cycloaromatization of bridged diallenic systems (Garratt-Braverman Cyclization).
- Electrophilic cyclization of monoallenic systems.
- Tandem pericyclic reactions.
- Enediyne models.
- Heterocumulenes, especially sulfines.
- Addition of chalcogen halides to propargylic alcohols.
- Regio- and enantioselective bromination and development of new processes of industrial interest.
