Conférence du Professeur Shannon Stahl (UW Madison)

Titre :  Palladium and Copper Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidation Reactions.

La conférence sera prononcée par le professeur Shannon Stahl du Département de chimie de l'University of Wisconsin-Madison. Elle sera donnée en anglais. 

Résumé : Molecular oxygen is the quintessential oxidant. While O₂ is the oxidant of choice for production of commodity chemicals, it is seldom used in the synthesis of fine chemicals, agrochemicals or pharmaceuticals. Over the past decade, research in my laboratory has focused on understanding and exploiting fundamental chemical principles that could enable widespread use of O₂ in chemical synthesis. This talk will begin with an overview of catalytic aerobic oxidation reactions, highlighting some of the key fundamental and practical challenges facing this field. This overview will be followed by a discussion of palladium- and copper-catalyzed reactions that we have developed and investigated in recent years, including new C–H oxidation reactions and highly practical and chemoselective methods for aerobic alcohol oxidation.
