This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry Project Grant, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $575,000 in funding to Stanford University from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027. The central goal of the project is to establish diazabicyclohexene dicarbamates as robust, metal-free precursors to generate reactive cyclobutadiene species for organic synthesis. The research aims to develop new, scalable reagents that can controllably release cyclobutadiene under environmentally benign conditions, enabling the synthesis of cyclobutadiene-containing compounds not previously accessible. This work is expected to advance fundamental understanding of cyclobutadiene chemistry and lead to new applications in the synthesis of natural products, biologically active compounds, novel materials, and energy-dense assemblies. The project does not involve any sub-awards.
