Abstract:
Oxidation reactions are central components of organic chemistry, and modern organic synthesis increasingly requires selective and mild oxidation methods. Although researchers have developed new organic oxidation methods in recent years, the chemistry community faces continuing challenges to use “green” reagents and maximize atom economy. Undoubtedly, with its low cost and lack of environmentally hazardous byproducts, molecular oxygen (O2) is an ideal oxidant.
In this lecture, Prof. Jiang will report recent progress towards the synthetic goal to functionalize the unsaturated hydrocarbons largely through the appropriate choice of Pd catalysts and O2. Simple and efficient methods to construct new carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds with O2 as the oxidant and/or reactant will be discussed. The detailed content includes: 1) the Pd-catalyzed oxidation of carbon-carbon double bonds; 2) Pd-catalyzed oxidation of carbon-carbon triple bond; 3) Pd-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling reactions of alkenes and/or alkynes. These methods provide new strategies for the green synthesis of diverse 1,2-diols, carbonyls, lactones, conjugated dienes, trienes, and aromatic rings.
Introduction：
Huanfeng Jiang received a B.S. in chemistry from Hubei University (1983), M.S at Wuhan University (1990), and Ph.D. from Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry (SIOC) with Professor Xiyan Lu (1993). And then he became a research fellow at Guangzhou Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 2003, he moved to the South China University of Technology (SCUT), where he is currently the leading professor of Chemistry. He received Chinese Chemical Society-BASF Young Investigator’s Award (2002), National Natural Science Funds for Distinguished Young Scholar (2006) and Special government allowances of the State Council (2012). His research interests include synthetic methodology, green and sustainable chemistry. He has published more than 200 research papers, including Acc. Chem. Res., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., J. Am. Chem. Soc. etc.
