  • Chem 278: Dr. Julia Stauber

    “An Organometallic Approach to the Assembly of Atomically Precise Nanomaterials” Abstract: There is significant interest in the ability to build atomically precise nanocluster molecules with complex three-dimensional structures resembling the intricate molecular architectures found in natural systems. We have developed a platform to access a class of robust, well-defined, three-dimensional hybrid nanomolecules with high tunability […]

  • Boehringer-Ingelheim Seminar: New Reactions from the Process Development of a BACE-1 Inhibitor

    Abstract: The process development of a BACE-1 inhibitor is described. In order to address major safety and scalability limitations in the Discovery synthesis, two novel reactions were developed. The discovery, development, and scale-up of these reactions will be described. Several additional methodologies which emerged during process research will also be presented.  

  • Boehringer-Ingelheim Seminar: Selective Catalytic Functionalization of C-H Bonds

    Abstract:The selective introduction of functional groups at the positions of typically unreactive C-H bonds has been a longstanding challenge in catalysis. To this end, our group has developed practical methods for the catalytic functionalization of C-H bonds with main group reagents.(1-4) These studies have led us to a general strategy of installing a single transient […]
