I am a master student at King Fahd University for petroleum and minerals. My research work is being in the field of Organic synthesis in green solvents, which is a new trend universally. I am studying nitrone cycloaddition reactions in the miceller system in water as green system for synthesizing the isoxazolidine heterocycles which have very important applications in the natural products synthesis. The second importance of this study is the investigation of the miceller system as new method for the enantio- and diatereoselective nitrone cycloaddition reactions. We are studying asymmetric nitrone cycloaddition reactions of chiral cyclic nitrones with lipophilic parts in order to adjust the miceller system, we are studying the enantio-, diastereo-, and regio-selectivity of the reactions. So this system has two important advantages: 1) low cost, healthy, and environmentally clean system. 2) It can give better stereoseletivity (Enantio- and diatereoselectivity) than the traditional Organic synthesis in the Organic solvents.
