Scott A. Snyder

Professor of Chemistry, University of Chicago

Scott started his independent career at Columbia University in 2006.  After being promoted to Associate Professor of Chemistry in June of 2011, Scott moved to Jupiter, FL campus of The Scripps Research Institute in September of 2013 as an Associate Professor of Chemistry, and was recruited by the University of Chicago as a Full Professor in September of 2015.  Scott and his group are leading experts in the laboratory synthesis of complex molecules known as natural products, materials produced by plants, insects, corals, bacteria, or anything else found in Nature, in hopes of developing them into novel drugs that can treat human disease.  Overall, Scott has trained more than 120 scientists in his laboratory from the high school through postdoctoral levels, and has delivered over 250 lectures to date worldwide.  He is also dedicated to chemical education, with Scott being a co-author of the 11th, 12th, and 13th editions of Organic Chemistry with T. W. G. Solomons and C. B. Fryhle as well as the graduate textbook Classics in Total Synthesis II with K. C. Nicolaou. For this collated work, he has received numerous awards, including an Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award from the American Chemical Society, a Sloan Foundation Research Fellowship, the Swiss Chemical Society Lectureship, and a STAR Award from the Research Corporation for Science Advancement.

报告题目/Title:

Strategies and Tactics for the Rapid Synthesis of Molecular Complexity

讲座摘要/Abstract:

The total synthesis of natural products has long served as a principal driving force for discovering new chemical reactivity, evaluating physical organic theories, testing the power of existing synthetic methods, and enabling biology and medicine.  Research in our group continues in that tradition, with efforts focused in particular on developing reactions, reagents, and strategies to rapidly assemble entire collections of natural products in hopes of gaining a fuller understanding of their biochemical potential.  Over the past decade, these efforts have afforded access to numerous classes of compounds, including halogenated materials, diverse polycyclic and stereochemically dense alkaloids, non-functionalized terpenes, and oligomeric polyphenols.  This talk will present recent advances and discoveries, focused particularly on structurally unique terpene and alkaloid-based targets.
