CCVC Seminar: Gregory Fu - Metal-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions of Alkyl Electrophiles

Tuesday, September 22, 2015 13:00to14:30
Maass Chemistry Building Room 10, 801 rue Sherbrooke Ouest, Montreal, QC, H3A 0B8, CA

Despite the tremendous accomplishments that have been described in the development of transition metal-catalyzed coupling processes, it is nevertheless true that many significant opportunities remain.聽 For example, to date the overwhelming majority of studies have focused on couplings between two sp2-hybridized reaction sites (e.g., an aryl metal with an aryl halide).

As of 2001, there were relatively few examples of metal-catalyzed coupling reactions of alkyl electrophiles.聽 During the past decade, we have pursued the discovery of transition metal-based catalysts for coupling activated and unactivated alkyl electrophiles that bear beta hydrogens.聽 Our recent efforts to develop broadly applicable methods, including enantioselective processes, will be discussed.
