报告摘要(Abstract):
Chiral organoboronic esters are versatile intermediates for chemical synthesis. Not only are these compounds stable under a variety of reaction conditions, they are generally non-toxic and can be transformed with minimal generation of hazardous waste. An important feature of aliphatic organoboronic esters is that the boron atom may be replaced with an array of different functional groups through efficient, stereospecific transformations. This seminar will cover new strategies for the construction of alkylboronic esters from simple starting materials in a catalytic enantioselective fashion, and will also discuss ways in which these compounds can be used to address compelling problems in chemical synthesis.
报告人简介(Brief introduction):
James P. Morken 教授1989年本科毕业于University of California at Santa Barbara(加州大学圣巴巴拉分校),1995年在Boston College(波士顿学院)获得博士学位,导师Amir Hoveyda教授。1995年至1997年在哈佛大学进行博士后研究,合作导师Stuart Schreiber教授。之后加入University of North Carolina Chapel Hill(北卡罗莱纳大学教堂山分校)开展独立研究工作,2006年晋升教授并加入Boston College任教至今。
自开展独立研究工作以来,Morken教授在有机硼试剂合成与转化方面做出了一系列开创性工作,在Nature, Science, J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.等国际权威期刊上发表研究论文120余篇。2018年获得美国化学会Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award。
