This $380,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports Louisiana State University's research on new organic synthetic reactions using epoxides. The grant enables Professor Rendy Kartika and his team to investigate the development of stereoselective transformations of epoxides into value-added organochlorine heterocyclic compounds, such as tetrahydropyrans, with potential applications in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and materials industries. The project also examines the underlying reaction mechanisms using in-situ NMR spectroscopy techniques. In addition to the research, the award provides training and mentoring opportunities for the next generation of scientists. The grant has a performance period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027 and does not include any planned sub-awards.
