Palestrantes e resumos das apresentações:

Dr. Josep Cornellà (Short talk)
Title: Reagent, Ligand and Catalyst Design: A Three-fold Approach to Reaction Discovery.
Abstract: The main goal of our research group is to provide efficient, robust and sustainable methodologies for organic synthesis. To this end, our group has established a three-fold approach based on 1) the development of new organic reagents that enable practical and facile organic chemistry by streamlining synthetic routes; 2) the design of ligands that enable the development of air-sensitive transition metal complexes with remarkable stability toward oxidation and temperature, thus broadening the applicability of methodologies restricted to the use of Schlenk or gloveboxes; 3) the design of p-block elements, in particular bismuth (Bi), that enable catalytic redox transformations akin to transition metals. We believe that this 3-fold approach is key to unlock new reactivity while allowing the discovery of fundamentally novel and unknown areas in chemistry.

Prof. Phil Baran (Long talk)
Title: Simplicity and Ideality in Synthesis
Abstract: Organic synthesis is one of the great branches of Chemistry that has had a profound impact on the betterment and advancement of civilization. In its most modern manifestations, it renders the dream of alchemy (turning something worthless into something valuable) a reality. It places the practitioner into the role of artist, engineer, and astronaut. Thus, advances in this field are inherently of interest to a broad audience. Predicting the specific developments that will alter the course of this field is difficult.
