Guangbin Dong, University of Chicago

Organic Chemistry Seminar at the University of Utah with Guangbin Dong, University of Chicago TBBC 4630 4th floor Thatcher In-person seminar Simple-Looking but Non-Obvious Transformationsby Guangbin Dong, University of Chicago Abstract: Late-stage functionalization has become an increasingly important strategy for increasing structural diversity of analogues in drug discovery. However, the current late-stage functionalization tactics remain limited, mostly centered on C-H functionalization. In this talk, three simple-looking but non-obvious transformations will be discussed, which allow for unusual late-stage modifications of complex molecules. The first transformation promotes directed saturation of unactivated arenes, leading to site-selective conversion of a benzene ring into a cyclohexane ring in complex molecules.1 The second transformation enables simultaneous installation of two chemically different boryl groups side-by-side into common aryl triflates or chlorides, resulting in divergent… Event Categories: Seminars.

David Hickey, Michigan State University

Analytical/Physical Chemistry Seminar at the University of Utah with David Hickey, Michigan State University TBBC 4630 4th floor Thatcher In-person seminar Molecular Design at Electrochemical Interfaces: Structure–Property Relationships in Redox-Active Organic Molecules by David Hickey, Michigan State University Abstract: Electrochemical technologies underpin applications ranging from grid-scale energy storage to enzymatic synthesis, yet their performance is often limited by poorly understood molecular phenomena at electrode–solution interfaces. In many cases, small organic molecules (e.g. redox-active electrolytes, mediators, or biomimetic cofactors) exhibit electrochemical behavior that cannot be predicted from bulk thermodynamics or molecular structure alone. This disconnect presents a fundamental challenge for rational molecular design in electrochemical systems. In this seminar, I will describe my group’s efforts to develop quantitative structure–property relationships that link molecular structure… Event Categories: Seminars.

Francisco Alberto Fernandez-Lima, Florida International University

Analytical Chemistry Seminar at the University of Utah with Francisco Alberto Fernandez-Lima, Florida International University In-person seminar TBBC 4630 Title: Advancing Biological Mass Spectrometry for Proteoform Screening and Protein-DNA mapping by Francisco Alberto Fernandez-Lima, Florida International University Abstract: Recent innovations in speed, accuracy and sensitivity have established mass spectrometry (MS) based methods as a key technology for the analysis of complex mixtures. MS techniques are emerging as the analytical gold standard for identification and characterization of molecular components with wide applications in forensic, environmental and biomedical research. My research group focuses on the development of emerging technologies for the characterization of biological systems at the single cell level, with emphasis on the 3D localization and quantification of molecular species with sub-micrometric spatial resolution. We utilized new, multidimensional separation workflows combining s… Event Categories: Seminars. Campus Locations: Thatcher Chemistry Building (TBBC). Campus Wide Event: Yes.
