DeBrota - The Selective Cobalt Boride-Mediated Reduction of Benzonitrile to Benzyl Alcohol - Project Report
This report represents the culmination of an independent, one-on-one faculty-mentored organic chemistry research project with Dr. Jason J. Pflueger, PhD, at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, under the auspices of the Rose-Hulman Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (R-SURF). My project, partially building on previous research conducted by Sarpong, Pflueger, et al., investigated organic synthesis methods using cobalt boride species. In the course of conducting the various experimental reactions during the project, we unexpectedly discovered a potential novel reaction scheme for the single-step reduction of benzonitrile to benzyl alcohol using greener and more ubiquitous reagents than those used in extant literature. Following the completion of the project, I created a formal laboratory report and scientific poster, and presented the project’s findings at the Eli Lilly Undergraduate Grantee Symposium in Indianapolis, IN, in August 2018.
