Presenter
Prof. Daniel John Weix – Department of Chemistry, University of Wisconsin-Madison
In this lecture, Prof. Daniel John Weix will explore the use of new types of electrophiles derived from sulfones, amines, carboxylic acids, and alcohols, and less reactive electrophiles, such as organic chlorides and sulfonate esters. New approaches to catalyst discovery and improvement utilizing ideas from drug discovery will also be discussed. Finally, applications to industrial challenges both large and small will be presented.
