The major research topics: synthesis of glyoxal-based organic compounds and investigation of their properties; chemical reactions thermodynamics and kinetics, development of technologies for synthesis of new materials.
The main research areas
Synthesis of glycoluril and its derivatives
Responsible for this area: Lyudmila Odysheva
Development and optimization of synthesis of glycoluril and its derivatives with different functional groups are carried out. A search of new application of glycoluril and its derivatives in polymer modification and new substances synthesis is conducted.
The main results:
Methods of synthesis of glycoluril and its derivatives are optimized
Tetrabromglycoluril was shown to be a good brominating agent
Tetramethylolglycoluril was shown to be useful in resins modification, particularly for urea-formaldehyde resins
Synthesis of imidazole and its derivatives
Responsible for this area: Oleg Kotelnikov
Development and optimization of synthesis of imidazole and its derivatives with different functional groups have been carried out.
