M. Christina White：金属有机领域的美女化学家

M. Christina White是University of Illinois化学系的Associate Professor。White的文章产量不是很高，不到20篇，但质量挺高，除了分别有一篇OL和T外，全是JACS以上的好文章。总的来说她就做了一个反应C-H（绝大部分是allylic的C-H）到C-O。在这过程中，她发现亚砜是这个反应的很好的配体（全新的Pd的配体结构），并将这个反应做的很深入（也就是合成不同的底物），而且还在合成进行了运用（她那篇nature chemistry就这一个亮点）。最近，又将这一体系运用到C-N的合成中去。暂时还没有实现不对称的反应。估计她日后的工作方向就应该是合成手性亚砜，实现C-O的不对称合成，再做其他的C-X键。http://chem8.org/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=33308&rpid=205189&ordertype=0&page=14#pid205189
