题 目: Recent Advances in Bromination Reactions 报告人: Ying-Yeung Yeung (�英洋) Department of Chemistry, National University of Singapore, Singapore 117543 时 间: 2014年6月26日(星期四) 上午10:00 地 点: 化学楼三楼报告厅 联系人: 俞寿云(yuhsouyun@nju.edu.cn) Abstract: Halogenation is an important class of organic transformation. Over the pass decades, reactions including cohalogenation, haloetherification, halolactonization and polyene cyclization are well documented. These reactions have been applied in many natural products and drug molecules synthesis. One of the research focuses in our research group is on the development of novel bromination reactions using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), an easy handle and inexpensive halogen source. In this lecture, our recent progress in the development of asymmetric and highly diastereoselective bromination reactions will be presented. EDUCATION and EXPERIENCE: Dr. Ying-Yeung YEUNG received his B.Sc. (2001) at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. He continued his graduate research in the same university under the supervision of Prof. Tony K. M. Shing. After four years research dedicated on natural product synthesis, Dr. Yeung moved to USA to conduct postdoctoral research with Prof. E. J. Corey at Harvard University (2005-2008). In 2008, he joined National University of Singapore, Department of Chemistry as Assistant Professor (2008-2013) and Associate Professor (2014-now). He is also the Assistant Head in the department since 2014. His research interests include asymmetric catalysis and methodology development.
