主讲人:Gregory C. Fu 美国科学院院士
题 目:Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions: A Radical Alternative to SN1 and SN2 Reactions
主讲人简介:
Gregory C. Fu,美国加州理工学院化学研究所教授、美国科学院院士。1985年在麻省理工学院获本科学位,1991年在哈佛大学获博士学位。1991年在加州理工学院进行博士后研究,1993年留麻省理工学院工作,2012年至加州理工学院担任教授。
他主要从事过度金属如镍,铜等催化剂促进的催化反应,如使用镍催化广泛的烷烃偶联和机理研究,以及使用铜催化剂搭配光催化以达到杂原子亲核基与烷烃的偶联反应。此外,他也利用这些方法开展了一系列外消旋亲核试剂的对映收敛反应。他的获奖记录如1998年获阿瑟・C・科普学者赏,2000年获Chan Memorial Award in Organic Chemistry奖,2001年Springer Award in Organometallic Chemistry,2005年Corey Award,2006年Mukaiyama Award,2007年三井触媒化学赏。以及2012年美国化学会Award for Creative Work in Synthetic Organic Chemistry,并于2014年获美国国家科学院院士。
Brief Introduction of Professor Gregory C. Fu
Gregory C. Fu is a professor in Caltech. He received his Bachelor degree from MIT in 1985, and obtained the Ph.D. degree from Harvard University. Then did his postdoctoral research at Caltech from 1991 to 1993. In 1993, he became a staff of MIT, afterward, he shifted to Caltech in 2012. His present research field is nickel and copper catalyzed coupling reactions. For nickel catalysis, he is pursuing the discovery of metal-based catalysts for coupling a wide range of alkyl electrophiles. Additionally, in copper catalysis, he is devoting the use of light and a transition-metal catalyst to achieve a wide range of couplings of heteroatom nucleophiles with alkyl electrophiles. Enantioconvergent reactions of racemic nucleophiles are being investigated. He has received several important awards such as Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award of ACS in 1998, Chan Memorial Award in Organic Chemistry in 2000, Springer Award in Organometallic Chemistry in 2001, Corey Award in 2005, Mukaiyama Award in 2006, and Catalysis Science Award of Mitsui Chemicals. Moreover, in 2012 he obtained the Award for Creative Work in Synthetic Organic Chemistry of ACS and become a fellow of National Academy of Sciences of USA in 2014.
