MAIN SCIENTIFIC DIRECTIONS OF RESEARCHVladislav M. Vlasov, Vice Director Study of kinetics and mechanisms of electrophilic and nucleophilic aromatic substitution and molecular rearrangements; structure and properties of active intermediate particles (carbocations, radical ions and carbanions); and a quantitative description and prediction of the reactivity of organic compounds in reactions with the intermediate formation of these particles. Development of synthetic methods in the chemistry of aromatic, fluoroaromatic, heterocyclic and organoelement compounds. Development of methods for the preparation of components for new promising materials (polymer stabilizers, photosensitive materials, monomers for thermally stable polymers, etc.). Studies in the area of renewable plant raw materials, forest chemistry, chemistry of natural compounds from plant raw materials of Siberia; searching for new physiologically active natural compounds of the terpene series. Development of technological methods for the preparation of organic compounds based on the scientific developments carried out in the Institute in various branches of industry. Studies on chemical aspects of ecology, assistance in environmental protection and other institutions in the development and management of analytical methods for the control of the content of harmful substances in food products and environmental objects. Creation of computer data bases on the molecular spectroscopy of organic compounds and software for the solution of problems associated with the manipulation with structural information.
