This $575,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of California, Berkeley will support Professor Thomas Maimone's research on developing new synthetic strategies for constructing complex, nitrogen-containing molecules. The work aims to identify transformations that can efficiently produce unique target molecules with potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials. The project will provide research training for graduate students and science outreach for Bay Area students. Key focus areas include synthesizing challenging alkaloid natural products, developing methods for C-C bond formation and halogenated stereocenters, and enabling the construction of rare natural products for further study. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which runs from June 2024 through May 2027.
