 * Potential Paper Topics:**
 * Synthesis of Nitrate Esters
 * [3,3] Sigmatropic Rearrangements
 * Free Radical Cyclizations & Backbites

This is what my current research project is on, and this will also be the topic of my literature review.


 * Synthesis of Nitrate Esters:**
 * Nitronium Ion (Conc HNO3 / Conc H2SO4)
 * Acetic Anhydride (CH3COOCOCH3) / Fuming Nitric Acid (>95% HNO3)
 * Trifluoroacetic Anhydride (CF3COOCOCF3) / LiNO3
 * Phosgene (COCl2) / AgNO3


 * [3,3] Sigmatropic Rearrangements (Cope Rearrangement)**
 * Bullvalene
 * Constanly undergoes rearrangement
 * No C-C bond is permanent


 * Free Radical Cyclizations**
 * Backbites
 * Tandem Cyclizations
 * Cylcizations of Baldwin **Disfavoured** Systems
