Abstract

The recently reported synthesis of perfluoroalkyl azides and triazoles1 opened the door to study the properties and reactivity of these compounds. In this project, the rich chemistry of (per)fluoroalkyl azides and triazoles1-10 will be investigated and new synthetic approaches to underdeveloped N-fluoroalkyl-containing compounds such as azides, azoles, azirines, ureas, carbamates, and amides will be studied. This class of compounds is expected to find utilization in drug discovery and in the development of new materials. 


Field of study: Organic chemistry

Universities

PhD students must be enrolled in a partner university and will be employed by the IOCB Prague at the same time (part-time or full time), which results in a competitive salary (a scholarship from the university + a salary from the IOCB). Each university has its own process, terms, and deadlines for PhD applications, which is separate from the IOCB recruitment process. You may discuss the details with the respective PI.

How to apply

Please return to the PhD projects at IOCB Prague – Call for Applications 2020 page and follow the instructions.
