To this end\, our group has developed practical met hods for the catalytic functionalization of C-H bonds with main group reag ents.1-4 These studies have led us to a general strategy of installing a s ingle transient functional group to form a range of products from one C-H bond functionalization reaction. This research has led us to seek next-gen eration catalysts for the functionalization of C-H in complex molecules\, new classes of reactions for functionalization of these bonds\, new strate gies\, such as the construction of artificial metalloenzymes to control th e site at which such reactions occur\,5 new ways for such enzymes and natu ral enzymes to work in concert to form unnatural products through artifici al biosynthetic pathways\,6 and new ways to deconstruct or change the prop erties of polyolefins by reactions initiated at C-H bonds. The design and selection\, as well as the intimate mechanism\, of catalysts and catalytic reactions for such functionalization processes will be presented.\n\n \n \nBio:\n\nJohn Hartwig was born outside of Chicago\, spent his childhood i n upstate New York\, and received his A.B. from Princeton University. He r eceived his Ph.D. from U.C. Berkeley with Bob Bergman and Richard Andersen and conducted a postdoctoral fellowship at MIT with Stephen Lippard. In 1 992 he began his independent career at Yale University and became the Iren ée P. DuPont Professor in 2004. In 2006\, he moved to the University of Il linois\, where he was the Kenneth L. Rinehart Jr. Professor of Chemistry\, and in 2011\, he returned to U.C. Berkley as the Henry Rapoport Professor .\n\n \n\nProfessor Hartwig's research focuses on the discovery and unders tanding of new reactions for organic synthesis catalyzed by transition met al complexes. He is well known for contributions to widely practiced cross -coupling chemistry that form arylamines\, aryl ethers\, aryl sulfides\, a nd a-aryl carbonyl compounds and for the discovery of practical C-H bond f unctionalization reactions\, in addition to his work on the direct convers ion of carbonyl compounds to alpha-aryl carbonyl derivatives\, catalysts f or the addition of amines alkenes\, and highly selective catalysts for the regio and enantioselective amination of allylic carbonates. He has focuse d on the mechanism and fundamental organometallic chemistry that underpins them\, including studies on reductive eliminations to form carbon-heteroa tom bonds\, oxidative addition of N-H bonds\, and olefin insertions into a mides and alkoxides. Since moving to Berkeley\, he has also been studying catalysis with artificial metalloenzymes and artificial biosynthetic pathw ays\, as well as conversions of biomass to chemicals and upcycling of poly olefins. He is the author of the textbook “Organotransition Metal Chemistr y: From Bonding to Catalysis.” Outside the lab\, he enjoys cooking\, music \, and activities outdoors.\n DTSTART:20240430T170000Z DTEND:20240430T183000Z LOCATION:OM 10\, Maass Chemistry Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B8\, 801 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Chemical Society Seminar: John Hartwig-Catalytic Functionalization of C-H bonds in Small and Large Molecules with Small and Large Catalysts URL:/chemistry/channels/event/chemical-society-seminar -john-hartwig-catalytic-functionalization-c-h-bonds-small-and-large-356678 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
