Scientific Career

Thesis Title	I. Electrophilic Additions of Selenium Substituted Allylic Stannanes. II. N-Hydroxypyrazoles -- Attempts of Allylic Alcohol Protection and Subsequent Oxidation.
Research Summary	Mel developed a synthesis of allyl amines, based on the dual role of the phenylseleno group as both a carbanion stabilizing group, as well as a leaving group.
