We are very happy to welcome within the CRC 1333 Colloquium Series:

Prof. Amir Hoveyda

Thursday, February 06, 2025, 2:00-3:00 pm

Boston College, USA/ University of Strasbourg, France

Topic: “Catalytic Processes that Generate Functional Linkages”

Prof. Hoveyda´s Research Areas:

– Discovery, design and development of new catalysts for chemical synthesis that are easy to produce, stable to air and moisture and that can be recycled
– Introduction of efficient new chiral catalysts that can be used to synthesise important enantiomerically pure compounds for the production of biologically and medically active compounds
– Development of transformations (such as conjugate additions and olefin metathesis) that cannot be efficiently catalysed using existing methods
– Total synthesis of complex molecules (testing our catalysts)
– Investigation of the reaction mechanism (how do our catalysts work?)
– New approaches to the discovery of catalysts (combinatorial chemistry)

The CRC cordially invites all who are interested to the lecture.
