Summary
With the support of the Chemical Catalysis Program of the Division of Chemistry, Professor Timothy H. Warren of the Department of Chemistry at Michigan State University is studying how to add function to molecules through normally unreactive carbon-hydrogen (C–H) bonds using copper-based catalysts. This research aims to create more efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective ways to build important chemical structures, such as those found in medicines and materials. By developing new methods to modify the most abundant types of carbon-hydrogen bonds in organic molecules, this proje
