Professor Alison J. Frontier of the University of Rochester will use a $525,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program to develop three new synthetic organic chemistry methods. The grant, awarded from July 2022 to June 2025, will support research exploring ambiguous electrocyclic reactions at the boundaries of established paradigms. This includes expanding the scope of pentannulation reactions, investigating higher-order cationic...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), provides $550,692 to a research team at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The grant supports the development of new reactions using N-alkenylnitrones and N,O-dialkenylhydroxylamines as reactive intermediates to rapidly assemble novel molecules with defined three-dimensional structures. The research aims to improve...
The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded Professor Joseph O'Connor of the University of California, San Diego a $525,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to study new approaches for catalyzing the electrocyclization of conjugated trienes. Over a three-year period from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2025, Professor O'Connor and his research group will design novel organometallic catalysts to facilitate the conversion of readily...
