- This Project Grant award, funded by the Division of Chemistry within the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $500,000 to Professors Angus Lamar and Gordon Purser at the University of Tulsa. The award supports their research into new methods for the modification of arenols and heteroarenols, which are compounds used in medicines, agricultural products, and advanced materials. The goal is to develop operationally simple organic...
- Through a $497,704 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Chemical Catalysis program (CFDA 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences), Professor Ming-Yu Ngai of Purdue University is conducting research to develop new sustainable catalytic processes leveraging first-row transition metals. The project aims to expand understanding of radical migration mechanisms and enable site- and stereoselective functionalization of carbohydrates and other small molecule building blocks....
- This federal Project Grant award of $600,000.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049). The award will support a project led by Professor Diao of New York University (NYU) to study the design of new bidentate chiral nitrogen-based ligands for use in asymmetric catalysis. This research aims to develop more efficient and environmentally-friendly methods for synthesizing small molecule...
- 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) is supporting the research of Professor Christopher M. Beaudry at Oregon State University. The $160,244 award from November 15, 2024 to October 31, 2025 is focused on developing new chemical reactions to transform aromatic ring structures into more densely functionalized and value-added molecules. This work aims to enable...
- This $284,861 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research at Purdue University developing new carbonylation methodologies for synthesizing complex chemical structures with medicinal applications. Professor Mingji Dai and his research team are investigating palladium-catalyzed reactions incorporating carbon monoxide to rapidly increase molecular complexity in targeted natural...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, is supporting Professor Rashad Karimov of Auburn University in developing new catalytic methods to synthesize complex, non-aromatic heterocyclic molecules commonly found in medicines and natural products. The $590,557 award, with a performance period from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, aims to improve the synthesis of these important molecular structures by enabling the late-stage introduction of functional groups. This research will explore two complementary approaches: (1) asymmetric alkene isomerization followed by functionalization, and (2) asymmetric diene isomerization strategies enabling regioselective and stereoselective cycloaddition and diene functionalization reactions. The anticipated outcomes include a suite of broadly applicable synthetic reactions that can accelerate drug discovery and the synthesis of bioactive natural products. As part of the broader impacts, the project will provide mentorship for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as engage the public through community-based science outreach programs.
