Description:Independent Research Proposal\n\nSaturated aza-heterocycles are
  of great importance due to their abundance in bioactive molecules\, natur
 al products\, and pharmaceuticals. The size of these rings can drastically
  alter their shape and binding properties. Ring expansion is a desirable s
 trategy for medicinal chemists as it allows for conversion to analogues of
  varying ring sizes without the need for resynthesis. Sulfonium ylides and
  sulfilimines are well studied intermediates in organic chemistry. Sulfoni
 um ylides have been used to accomplish cyclizations to form valuable epoxi
 des\, aziridines\, and cyclopropanes. Sulfilimines have been shown to beha
 ve as nitrene transfer reagents to achieve azaarene syntheses. Using sulfo
 nium ylides and sulfilimines in a ring expansion strategy to gain access t
 o valuable saturated N-heterocycles would be highly desirable.\n\nTeams Li
