10/21/24 at 4:00pm in Chemistry A101
About the Seminar: Underrepresentation of some groups in STEM fields occurs because these students experience achievement gaps with lower scores on average than their overrepresented peers. Poor performance in introductory science courses is one reason that students initially interested in science switch to other non-STEM majors or even leave college. Evidence-based teaching methods and course […]
10/14/24 at 4:00pm in Chemistry A101
About the Seminar: Pyridines and diazines are ubiquitous in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, yet there are limits in synthetic methods that can directly functionalize the C–H bonds in these structures. We will show two distinct approaches, using phosphorus and ring-opened intermediates, that enable selective functionalization of these heterocycles into a range of valuable derivatives. A range […]
10/10/24 at 4:00pm in Chemistry A101
About the Seminar: Our group’s overarching goal is to develop new methods to extract sustainable fuels, polymers, and chemicals from plants. Our approach has been to develop and apply computational tools to biological and chemical conversion processes as part of an iterative ‘model-validate-predict’ design process for de novo catalysts. With its high carbon and hydrogen content, lignocellulosic […]

About the Seminar: Alkenes are ubiquitous building blocks in synthetic chemistry that are leveraged in difunctionalization strategies to append multiple groups in one step. However, methods to achieve this typically require specialized reagents, directing groups, and/or transition-metal catalysts for reactivity and reliable selectivity. Recent work has shown 1,3-alkene difunctionalization via charge relocation. Key to this […]

Abstract: A key problem literally since the discovery of catalysis itself is the question of “what’s the actual, true catalyst?”. More specifically, distinguishing homogeneous catalysis from nanoparticle heterogeneous catalysis has proven to be both a critical, as well as challenging, issue in a range of organic reactions over the ≥25 years. Post setting up the […]
