Speakers
Description
A 4th year Ph.D. student in Doug Stephan’s group, Jordan's research interests include boron and phosphorus Lewis acids, and expanding Frustrated Lewis Pair chemistry to more varied substrates and conditions.
CO2 as an FLP Protecting Group and the Reactivity of Phosphenium Species with Alkynols
Original Graduate Research
Frustrated Lewis Pair (FLP) chemistry is notoriously very sensitive to moisture. The first part of this seminar details how FLP-CO2 adducts can be used as moisture-tolerant FLP precursors for both stoichiometric and catalytic reactions. The second part details how cationic phosphenium species like phosphireniums and phosphine-stabilized phosphenium cations react with alkynols, and how this reactivity may be used.
