The University of Texas at Dallas is developing novel synthetic organic chemistry methods under a $496,032 National Science Foundation Project Grant awarded August 1, 2023 through the agency's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). Led by Professor Vladimir Gevorgyan, university researchers and students are working to establish mild, efficient, and selective reaction methodology for synthesizing organic molecules through carbon-hydrogen bond functionalization and single electron transfer reactions initiated by visible light. This includes generating carbon- and heteroatom-centered radicals from donor-acceptor complexes and unlocking their reactivity for diverse synthetic transformations. It is believed these new methods will deepen understanding of electron-transfer chemistry and substantially broaden tools for complex molecule and drug synthesis. Research outcomes will also include outreach activities to recruit underrepresented minority students into chemistry research.
