"Forging Sustainable C-C Bonds: Development of Rhodium-Catalyzed Hydroacylation"
Vy Dong's Comps Group - Spencer Delle Fave, Adrian Gonzalez, Miles McDermott, Collin Pearson, Kate Thomas, Kate Ulrich, Sergio Yap, Yeriel Yoon,
Abstract: Carbon is the fundamental building block of organic compounds, yet sustainable synthetic methods to selectively form bonds between carbon atoms are limited. Fortunately, organometallic compounds are capable of catalytically activating strong carbon-hydrogen bonds, enabling a new class of organic reactions and offering an alternative green strategy for carbon-carbon bond formation. Rh-catalyzed olefin hydroacylation is one such reaction, in which an acyl group and a hydrogen atom are added to opposite sides of an alkene in a 100% atom-economical transformation. Our talk will focus on the Dong group’s creative use of chelating groups to access more complex molecular structures. Among other things, Vy Dong and her collaborators have developed novel methods to generate medium sized rings, natural product precursors, and other compounds with high enantio- and regioselectivity.
