This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry provides $160,244 to Temple University to support the research of Professor Christopher M. Beaudry in developing new chemical reactions that enable more efficient syntheses of pharmaceutical and fine chemical products. The research will focus on transforming aromatic ring compounds, such as benzenes, pyrones, and pyridines, into other cyclic and polycyclic molecules through pericyclic reactions. This work aims to address long-standing challenges in chemical synthesis, such as preparing 4-substituted indoles, 2,3-disubstituted phenols, and nitrogen-containing bicyclic systems. The research will also provide training for Ph.D. students and undergraduates, and involve outreach activities with the Corvallis public school system. This award is funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, which supports fundamental and applied research across scientific disciplines to advance knowledge and address complex challenges.
