The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Ascending Postdoctoral Research Fellowship to Dr. Deiaa Harraz at Harvard University, under the mentorship of Dr. Daniel G. Nocera. The objective of the 3-year research project is to develop a new approach to trifluoromethylation chemistry that provides more cost-effective routes for the large-scale synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds. The research will interface radical cross-coupling catalysis with electro-photochemical catalysis to generate CF3 radicals from trifluoroacetic acid, enabling novel and more cost-effective routes for the manufacture of trifluoromethyl-containing compounds, with a focus on pharmaceutical products. Additionally, the PI plans to launch a graduate application mentorship program to increase undergraduate student participation in research.
