William von E. Doering
Prof. Doering maintains a modest research activity in physical, mechanistic organic chemistry involving at any one time no more than two postdoctoral associates. Current research focuses on factors that influence the fate of the diradicals that mediate product distribution in not-obviously concerted reactions. The nature of the transition region of very strongly concerted 1,5-dienyl hydrogen shifts is being probed by examining response to radical-stabilizing groups.
