SUMMARY:Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Andy Thomas
DESCRIPTION:Reimagining Ancient Reactions for the 21st Century \nAbstract: The ability to prepare highly functionalized molecules in general and predictable ways is central to modern drug design and discovering new treatments for human disease. The aim of our program is to create new methods to solve the longstanding synthetic challenge of asymmetrically constructing biologically active small molecules. Classical synthetic approaches based on CH activations are ubiquitous but limited by the inherent directing effects of embedded heteroatoms. This presentation will discuss our recently discovered scheme to access highly basic ion pairs with organolithiums which provides a new pathway to override intrinsic heteroatom directing effects. In addition\, we will describe our progress in developing new methods for carbon-oxygen bond formation reactions that utilizes primary ozonide intermediates. \nThomas Flyer

SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series – Prof. Lane Baker
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Prof. Lane Baker Flyer \nTitle: Expanding the Electrochemical Toolbox: A Story in Two Parts \nAbstract: Advances in electrochemistry\, and in particular electroanalytical chemistry\, are driven by advances in tools and methods to perform electrochemical measurements. In this talk\, I will present two vignettes into very different tools we have developed recently for electrochemical measurements. The first vignette consists of an electrochemical array we have developed that allows scalable high-throughput electrochemistry in a conventional 96-well format\, a tool we colloquially call “Legion”. The operation and performance of Legion\, along with applications towards materials synthesis and electro-organic chemistry will be highlighted. In a second vignette\, recent advances in a new scanning electrochemical microscopy platform will be described. The approach\, fast-scan cyclic voltammetry – scanning electrochemical microscopy – scanning ion conductance microscopy (FSCV-SECM-SICM) makes use of precision fabricated carbon electrodes and an adaptable programming platform for imaging control. The general operation and performance of the instrument will be described\, along with applications in imaging of neurotransmitter release from primary cultured neurons.

SUMMARY:Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Prof. László Kürti
DESCRIPTION:Advances In the Synthesis And Application Of Strained-Ring Compounds: Catalytic & Stoichiometric Approaches \nAbstract: “The synthesis of highly substituted and strained nitrogenous molecules remains a challenging task since installing substituents on small ring systems gets increasingly difficult as the degree of substitution increases. Similarly\, it is difficult to install nitrogen bridges onto highly substituted and electronically diverse unsaturated systems. In this presentation a number of synthetic routes to these valuable nitrogenous building blocks will be discussed: (1) The direct and stereospecific synthesis of N-H- and N-alkyl aziridines from unactivated olefins using both transition metal-catalyzed and organocatalytic approaches that proceed through very different N-transfer processes; (2) Fully-substituted N-acyl aziridines are produced in one-pot by the reaction of N-electrophilic iminomalonates with ketone enolates – this transformation is in essence an aza-quasi-Favorskii rearrangement reaction which proceeds via a 1\,2-attack followed by a low-barrier intramolecular nitrenoid-insertion into a C-C bond and (3) Structurally diverse spiro N-H azetidines are formed in a single step during the Ti(IV)-mediated reaction between oxime ethers and alkyl-Grignard reagents or via a ligand-exchange process using terminal olefins – the overall transformation proceeds via a Kulinkovich-type mechanism: a titanacyclopropane intermediate is formed and serves as a 1\,2- dialkyl anion equivalent\, inserting into the 1\,2-dielectrophilc oxime ether substrate to ultimately give rise to the desired N-heterocyclic four-membered ring. \nKurti Flyer

SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series – Prof. Aleksandr Zhukhovitskiy
DESCRIPTION:Flyer:Prof. Alex Zhukhovitskiy Flyer \nTitle: Advancing Inorganic Methods for Polymer Synthesis\, Modification\, and Degradation \nAbstract: The polymer backbone is fundamental to the polymer’s identity and properties. My seminar will focus on the development of metathesis mechanisms to access heteroatom-rich polymer backbones\, new editing tools to transform existing polymer backbones into different ones\, and both strategies and tactics to depolymerize commodity polymeric materials into valuable small molecules. Specifically\, I will discuss iridium-guanidinate catalyzed ring-opening metathesis of cyclic carbodiimides and the current directions toward diazene metathesis\, as well as an array of transformations—including C-H amination using sulfur-based reagents—applied to edit the backbones of polymers. Besides the focus on polymer backbones\, retrosynthetic logic applied to polymeric materials will be another common thread woven throughout this seminar\, as it is a central element of the research in the Zhukhovitskiy group.

SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series – Prof. Piotr Kaszyński
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Prof. Piotr Kaszyński Flyer \nTitle: Closo-Boranes: Unique Structural Elements for Functional Materials \nAbstract: closo-Boranes are inorganic 3-D sigma aromatic compounds with steric and electronic properties attractive for designing multifunctional materials. Earlier work demonstrated that 10- and 12-vertex p-carboranes are suitable building blocks for liquid crystals. Anionic closo-carbaborates have been used to design highly polar materials for LCD applications and ionic self-organizing electrolytes for battery applications. The high-lying HOMO of the decaborate dianion [closo-B 10 H 10 ] 2- has been exploited in the design of materials exhibiting photo-induced intra- and inter-molecular charge transfer processes. The synthesis of these new materials has required the development of new\nfunctionalization methods. For example\, phenyliodination activates B-H bonds towards\nhighly regioselective nucleophilic substitution.

SUMMARY:Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Timothy Cernak
DESCRIPTION:Combinatorial Explosion: From Atom-Bond Arrangements to Exotic Diseases \nAbstract: Chemical synthesis and data science are two fields that operate in synergy. Molecules and the routes to synthesize them are easily represented as graphs while automated chemical synthesis strategies allow more and more synthesis data to be captured\, for instance to feed machine learning algorithms. This talk will detail our work in this area focused on a new class of amine-acid cross coupling reactions\, and the computer-assisted synthesis of drugs and natural products. We have been exploring the breadth of all reactions that could exist\, navigating combinatorial explosions of virtual and plausible reaction methods\, routes to complex molecules\, and the interconnectedness of reaction conditions\, transformations\, and biological functions. Our agnostic view of reactions and their mechanisms has recently extended to diseases\, with a focus on One Health. \n  \nCernak Flyer

SUMMARY:Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Tianning Diao
DESCRIPTION:Leveraging One- and Two-Electron Mechanisms in Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling \nAbstract: While palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have revolutionized the construction of multi-aryl scaffolds in pharmaceutical synthesis\, the reactivity of nickel in mediating radical pathways has expanded the scope of cross-coupling to include various alkyl motifs. Through our mechanistic investigations and an understanding of ligand effects\, we established that strong -donor and -acceptor ligands\, with redox activity\, facilitate nickel catalysts to initiate radical formation\, capture radicals\, and direct bond formation from open-shell intermediates. Given the orthogonal reactivity of radicals with polar functional groups in biomolecules\, these radical pathways have introduced innovative methods for synthesizing non-canonical peptides and carbohydrates\, important for drug discovery. In contrast\, two-electron pathways are crucial for nickel-catalyzed bi-aryl coupling. Building on this insight\, we developed a novel ligand that enhances the reactivity of nickel-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura couplings\, paving the way for the application of nickel catalysts in pharmaceutical process synthesis. \nDiao Flyer

SUMMARY:Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series – Prof. Jarad Mason
DESCRIPTION:Flyer: Prof. Jarad Mason Flyer \nTitle: Manipulating Phase Transitions and Porosity: From Solid Refrigerants to Microporous Water \nAbstract: Materials that undergo phase transitions in response to specific stimuli and that contain pores tailored to interact with specific guest molecules offer unique opportunities for addressing many important global challenges. Here\, I will describe two recent examples of how phase-change materials and microporous materials can be leveraged for a range of energy and biomedical applications\, including sustainable heat pumps\, electrocatalysis\, organ preservation\, bioreactors\, and in vivo gas delivery. First\, I will discuss how hydrocarbon order–disorder phase transitions in layered organic and metal–organic materials can be manipulated to drive large barocaloric effects—thermal changes induced by hydrostatic pressure—in a new class of solid refrigerants. Second\, I will describe a new approach to transporting gas molecules in aqueous solutions that overcomes limitations associated with the low solubility of nearly all gases in water. Specifically\, I will show how aqueous solutions of microporous nanocrystals can be designed with low viscosities\, long-term colloidal stability\, and micropores that remain permanently dry even when surrounded by liquid water. This allows high densities of gas molecules\, including oxygen\, to be stored and released within aqueous environments.
