CAREER: Mechanism-Guided Remote Multifunctionalization of Unsaturated Hydrocarbons — NSF Award to SUNY at Stony Brook (NY, $800,00
This project will develop methods to control the selectivity of multifunctionalization reactions, which would enable production of complex valuable chemicals from simple inexpensive starting materials. Multifunctionalization reactions involve multiple bond-breaking and making steps in a single reaction and can be used

| Abstract | This project will develop methods to control the selectivity of multifunctionalization reactions, which would enable production of complex valuable chemicals from simple inexpensive starting materials. Multifunctionalization reactions involve multiple bond-breaking and making steps in a single reaction and can be used to rapidly increase the molecular complexity, and value, of abundant hydrocarbon feedstocks. However, poor selectivity in these transformations often leads to an unusable mixture o |
