Professor David Tyler, Department of Chemistry, University of Oregon (UO), is supported by the Inorganic, Bioinorganic, and Organometallic Chemistry Program for a collaborative study between the Tyler research group at UO and researchers at Rohm and Hass on the development of a sulfuric acid-free method for the synthesis of methacrylates. The primary goal of the proposed research at UO is to develop a viable, homogeneously catalyzed process involving a key reaction in a proposed sulfuric acid-free industrial synthesis of methacrylates. The current industrial method uses sulfuric acid and generates about 2.5 kg of ammonium hydrogen sulfate per kg of methacrylate product. The treatment and disposal of the ammonium hydrogen sulfate contribute not only to higher product costs but also to wasted energy, raw material loss, and an unnecessary impact on the environment. The development of a successful sulfuric acid-free process would be an impressive application of "green chemistry" to a major industrial process. A successful sulfuric acid-free reaction developed on a laboratory scale at the University of Oregon will be studied on a larger scale by industrial collaborators at Rohm and Haas, who will also investigate how to combine various catalyzed reactions to give new sulfuric acid-free processes for the production of methyl methacrylate and related products. For the purpose of enhancing the education and professional development of graduate students, the Chemistry Department at UO has a history of working collaboratively with a variety of partners including local and regional industries, local K-12 school systems, and numerous regional colleges and universities. Meetings and teleconferences with researchers at Rohm and Haas and significantly long visits to the Rohm and Haas labs giving hands-on industrial experience will allow students to learn how chemistry developed in academic research labs is translated into large-scale manufacturing processes. This industrial exposure will give them a distinct edge in the practical world. Underrepresented groups will have a strong presence in the graduate and undergraduate student audience that participates in the research supported by this grant.

俄勒冈大学化学系（UO）化学系戴维·泰勒（David Tyler）教授得到了UO的泰勒研究小组与ROHM研究人员与HASS的硫化硫酸硫磺开发的无机，生物无机和有机金属化学计划的支持无酸合成甲基丙烯酸酯的方法。 UO拟议研究的主要目标是开发一个可行的，同质催化的过程，涉及甲基丙烯酸酯的无硫酸工业合成中的关键反应。当前的工业方法使用硫酸，每公斤甲基丙烯酸酯产物产生约2.5 kg硫酸铵。硫酸铵的治疗和处置不仅有助于较高的产品成本，还会导致能源浪费，原材料损失以及对环境的不必要影响。成功的无硫酸过程的发展将是对主要工业过程中“绿色化学”的令人印象深刻的应用。 Rohm和Haas的工业合作者将在俄勒冈大学的实验室量表上进行成功的无硫酸反应，他们还将研究如何结合各种催化反应以提供新的无硫酸酸工艺用于生产甲基丙烯酸甲酯和相关产品。为了增强研究生的教育和专业发展，UO的化学系有与各种合作伙伴合作的历史。与ROHM和HAAS的研究人员的会议和电视会议以及对Rohm和Haas Labs的长期访问将使学生能够学习如何将化学在学术研究实验室中开发的化学反应如何转化为大型制造过程。这种工业敞口将使他们在实践世界中具有独特的优势。代表性不足的团体将在研究生和本科生的受众群体中拥有强大的影响力，并参与了这项赠款支持的研究。
