| Abstract | With the support of the Chemical Catalysis Program of the Division of Chemistry, Professor Hoover of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities is studying new catalysts to convert carboxylic acids to value-added compounds. Current routes to synthesize molecules used in medicine, agriculture and materials applications rely on expensive starting materials and involve lengthy multi-step syntheses. In contrast, carboxylic acids are abundant starting materials that can be |
