The National Science Foundation (NSF), Division of Chemistry awarded $515,310 to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation on August 1, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support a three-year research project (through July 31, 2029). Dr. Robert B. Grossman is developing novel synthetic methods for preparing 1,2-diamines—a class of chemical compounds with applications in industrial catalysts and advanced manufacturing. The research leverages 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions with azimines to convert alkenes into 1,2,3-triazolidines, which are subsequently hydrogenated to yield 1,2-diamines with removable protecting groups. This methodology aims to make 1,2-diamine synthesis faster, safer, and more cost-effective than existing methods, with particular focus on intramolecular and asymmetric reaction variants. In addition to the core research deliverables, the award supports educational outreach through ChemCamp, a week-long, hands-on chemistry learning experience for high school students conducted at the University of Kentucky's laboratory facilities. This dual research and education focus aligns with the NSF's statutory mission to advance fundamental scientific knowledge and strengthen the Nation's scientific workforce pipeline through enhanced educational programming.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
