Professor Andrew G. Roberts and his research team will develop new synthetic methodology using tertiary amines as templates to iteratively form carbon-nitrogen and carbon-carbon bonds,...
- Miami University received a three-year $480,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The grant funds Professor C. Scott Hartley's research investigating methods to control the folding of non-biological molecules into complex three-dimensional structures. Specifically, the project studies the folding behaviors of ortho-arylene foldamers, focusing on ortho-phenylenes, to...
Hamilton College has been awarded a $246,927 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop bench-stable N-quaternized ketene N,O-acetals as multifunctional reagents for organic synthesis. The grant will support research into utilizing these newly stabilized reagents to efficiently synthesize value-added materials such as pharmaceutical agents and agrochemicals through 2025. Specifically, the project aims to employ N,O-acetals to prepare biologically active nitrogen-containing cyclic compounds and investigate various processes involving the reagents to uncover cost-effective synthetic methods without expensive catalysts. The funding will also provide undergraduate research experiences in synthetic organic chemistry, with a focus on recruiting and retaining students from underrepresented groups for STEM careers.
