The availability of general methods for carbon-heteroatom bond formation is central to modern-day organic synthesis. In this hour-long, interactive webinar, you will hear about aspects of the work from our labs at MIT describing several Cu-catalysed transformations relevant to the construction of molecular types which are of interest to those in academia, pharmaceutical and applied industries. You will also learn about the design, synthesis, and utilisation of new ligands that can be used in a synthetically meaningful context.

By attending this webinar, you will learn:

  • How copper catalyzed C-N bond coupling reactions are useful for the construction of a range of common molecular types, of interest to those in academia, pharmaceutical and applied industries.
  • How the design, synthesis, and utilisation of new ligands can be used in a synthetically meaningful context.
  • About the current state-of-the art research work from one of the world’s leading research laboratories.

Please note: Closed captions are available on this webinar.

Stephen L Buchwald

Professor Stephen L Buchwald is the Camille Dreyfus Professor of Chemistry at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), US. Buchwald received his PhD from Harvard University, US in 1982 before conducting his postdoctoral work at Caltech, US. He joined MIT as an assistant professor in 1984, becoming a full professor in 1993. Buchwald has had a prolific career thus far, authoring over 500 publications and 49 patents. He is best known for his involvement in the development of the Buchwald-Hartwig amination reaction, as well as for the series of biaryl-phosphine ligands used today in almost every synthesis lab on the planet. He is the recipient of a plethora of prizes including the Linus Pauling Medal Award and the 2019 Wolf Prize in Chemistry.
