SUMMARY:Stereoselective Gold Catalysis: From Metal-Ligand Cooperation to SN2 Glycosylation
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Metal-ligand cooperation is a versatile strategy for achieving efficient and/or stereoselective catalysis. Since 2014\, we have developed a range of enabling remotely basic group-functionalized biaryl-2-ylphospine ligands (see Scheme A) for cooperative gold catalysis. With chiral elements built into these ligands\, asymmetric transformations are developed in mechanistically rational manners. DFT calculations confirm the critical participation of the ligand remote basic group in catalysis. Several recent developments will be discussed. This type of bifunctional ligands also enables cooperative catalysis by other metals including Cu and Ag. \nA different yet related approach to achieving stereoselective gold catalysis is developed specifically to address the long-standing challenge in carbohydrate synthesis\, i.e.\, the lack of stereoselective synthesis of glycosidic bonds applicable to every sugar type. In this approach\, as shown in Scheme B\, a basic group is installed onto the anomeric leaving group of the carbohydrate donor and serves to direct the backend attack by a carbohydrate acceptor upon the leaving group activation by gold. The SN2 nature of the glycosylation and the general tolerance of many sugar types make this approach appealing. The progress made in this area will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Chem 228: Professor Wei Xiong\, UCSD
DESCRIPTION:Ultrafast Dynamics of Molecular Vibrational Polaritons For Chemistry and Quantum Simulation \nMolecular vibrational polaritons are hybrid half-light\, half-matter quasiparticle. This hybrid quasiparticles not only inherit properties of both photons and matters\, but also processes unique new photonic and molecular phenomena\, including tilting chemical potential landscapes of reactions\, adding new energy transfer pathways and strong photonic interactions. Many of these developments hinge on fundamental understanding of its physical properties of molecular vibrational polaritons. Using pump probe and 2D IR spectroscopy to study vibrational-polaritons\, we obtained results that advance both molecular science and photonics fields. I will discuss a few phenomena of IR molecular vibrational-polaritons: 1.  Cavity-enabled intermolecular energy transfer\, 2. Vibrational strong coupling accelerated barrier crossing events\, and 3. Nonlinear interactions between polaritons resides in neighboring cavities. These results will have significant implications in novel infrared photonic devices\, lasing\, molecular quantum simulation\, as well as new chemistry by tailoring potential energy landscapes.
