However, the selective formation of C\u0026ndash;C bonds from abundant starting materials and accessible catalysts remains a challenge in synthetic processes. One of the most broadly useful strategies of accessing C\u0026ndash;C bonds relies on the cross coupling of an electrophile with an organometallic reagent in the presence of a transition metal catalyst. While electrophiles are bench-stable and commercially available, the organometallic reagent can be air and moisture sensitive, intolerant of acidic and electrophilic functionality, and often must be pre-synthesized. A more versatile method to access C\u0026ndash;C bonds would rely on electrophiles, carboxylic acids, or hydrocarbons directly though this method can make it challenging to control selectivity, as a single catalyst is expected to differentiate between two electronically analogous substrates or bonds of comparable strengths. For cross-coupling reactions in which a single earth-abundant metal catalyst is limited, we have developed conditions to enable the synergy between a typical cross coupling catalyst and other transition metal catalysts.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Special Seminar"}],"uid":"36417","created_gmt":"2023-01-03 16:46:14","changed_gmt":"2023-02-22 17:32:24","author":"tthacker6","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2023-02-23T15:30:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2023-02-23T16:30:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2023-02-23T16:30:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2023-02-23 20:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2023-02-23 21:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2023-02-23 21:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"85951","name":"School of Chemistry and Biochemistry"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
