°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼ Desktop Seminars with Brazilian Chemical Society Organic Chemistry Division (25 Aug)

25 August 2020 11:30-13:00, Brazil


Introduction
°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼ Desktop Seminars in Organic Chemistry with the Brazilian Chemical Society 2020 are an initiative from the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼ and the Brazilian Chemical Society to bring cutting-edge research directly to you!
 
Covid-19 has exposed us to a new reality where the virtual world is much more important than before. In order to keep our students engaged at the frontiers of Organic Chemistry, we have organized a weekly webinar series that is a joint collaboration between the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼ (°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼) and the Organic Chemistry Division of the Brazilian Chemical Society (SBQ). It is an alternative way to share work and interact with potential collaborators.
 
The sections will alternate between Brazilian and international speakers, in some cases with the opportunity for a selected Brazilian early career researcher to engage with the audience by presenting their recent independent career developments.

Programme

11:30 Introductions and welcome
11:35 Early Career presentation with Q&A
11:50 Main Presentation with Q&A
12:45 Closing remarks
13:00 Close

Speakers

Professor Corinna S. Schindler 
Catalytic Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis

The olefin-olefin metathesis reaction is a revolutionary industrial process that utilizes precious metal complexes to enable direct carbon-carbon bond formation from simple olefin starting materials. The carbonyl-olefin metathesis reaction similarly enables the construction of carbon-carbon bonds and has the potential to have an analogous impact on synthetic strategy. However, currently available synthetic procedures are significantly less advanced. My research laboratory has developed a Lewis acid-catalyzed carbonyl-olefin metathesis that represents a new reactivity mode between carbonyl and olefin functionalities. Our design principle fundamentally differs from stoichiometric carbonyl-olefin metathesis protocols proceeding via intermediate oxametallacycles. It is instead based on the in situ formation of oxetanes as reactive intermediates via an asynchronous, concerted [2+2]-cycloaddition of a carbonyl and an olefin upon activation with FeCl3 as Lewis acid catalyst. This distinct reactive intermediate no longer limits the process to precious metals, enables catalytic turnover, and prevents the formation of stoichiometric waste. This research talk will focus on the latest developments in catalyst design for carbonyl-olefin metathesis to promote ring-closing, ring-opening, and cross-carbonyl-olefin metathesis.

Prof. Dr. Julio Cezar Pastre
Continuous Flow Synthesis of the URAT1 Inhibitor Lesinurad

Our group is interested in the development of new protocols that enable the rapid and efficient synthesis of important heterocycles, and generation of compound libraries for biological activity screening in drug discovery programs. Application of continuous flow chemistry for the synthesis of compound libraries and APIs has been strongly motivated by its key advantages relative to batch methodologies. Bearing this in mind, we will present our efforts toward the development of a new continuous flow process to rapidly generate Lesinurad, an urate anion exchange transporter 1 (URAT1) inhibitor approved in 2015 by the FDA for the treatment of high blood uric acid levels associated with gout.
 
Speakers
Professor Corinna S. Schindler, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, United States

Corinna Schindler was born and raised in Schwaebisch Hall, Germany. As an undergraduate at the Technical University of Munich, she worked in the area of organometallic chemistry. Under the supervision of K. C. Nicolaou at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla. She then joined the Carreira group at ETH Zurich for her Ph.D., before accepting a postdoctoral position with Eric N. Jacobsen at Harvard University. In 2013 she moved to her current faculty as an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan. Currently, her research lab in Michigan focuses primarily on developing new synthetic methodologies to access biologically active structures.


Prof. Dr. Julio Cezar Pastre, University of Campinas-UNICAMP, Brazil

Julio C. Pastre was born in Brazil in 1979. He obtained his PhD in 2009 under the guidance of Professor Carlos Roque D. Correia at the University of Campinas – UNICAMP. This was followed by a brief one-year spell working as a process chemist at Rhodia-Solvay. He then spent three years as a postdoctoral researcher at UNICAMP with Professor Ronaldo A. Pilli and joined the group of Professor Steven V. Ley at the University of Cambridge as a Postdoctoral Research Associate. Since 2014, he is working as an Assistant Professor at UNICAMP, and his general areas of interest focuses on the application of Enabling Technologies such as MW and continuous flow chemistry for the synthesis of natural products, drugs and new drug candidates as well as the synthesis of high added-value compounds from biomass.
