Chemistry Weekly Seminar - Dr. Melanie Sanford, University of Michigan
Dr. Melanie Sanford, Professor in the Department of Chemistry, University of Michigan will present a seminar at 1:30 p.m. via Zoom.
Title
Development of Metal-Catalyzed Reactions for Introducing Fluorine Into Organic Molecules
Abstract
This presentation will describe our group's recent advances in developing metal-mediated/catalyzed methods for introducing fluorine into organic molecules. Our efforts into this area are guided by detailed fundamental studies of stoichiometric organometallic bond-forming reactions. These fundamental studies will be described in detail, and their translation to practical applications (particularly in the context of the synthesis of PET imaging agents) will be discussed.
