Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $357,254 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The award will support research from July 2023 through June 2026 to develop new reagents and synthetic methodologies based on hypervalent iodine chemistry. Specifically, the University of Minnesota Duluth will explore the preparation and reactivity of novel hypervalent iodine compounds, including arylbenziodoxaboroles and iodonium-substituted boronic acids as precursors to generate benzyne. The research is also aimed at synthesizing and studying iodonium derivatives of porphyrins and dipyrromethenes. New metal-free, iodine-mediated synthetic methods developed through this work could enable more sustainable and environmentally-friendly chemical synthesis. The award is expected to provide training for students, including those underrepresented in science, at the interface of organic and inorganic chemistry.
