Our group is currently pursuing the synthesis of a number of structur ally complex natural products\, including the diterpenoids ryanodine\, tal atisamine\, and pleuromutilin. The densely-packed arrays of heteroatoms an d stereogenic centers that constitute these polycyclic targets challenge t he limits of current technology and inspire the development of new synthet ic strategies and tactics. This seminar will describe the latest progress in our methodological and target-directed synthesis endeavors.\n\nBio: Sar ah E. Reisman earned a BA in Chemistry from Connecticut College in New Lon don\, CT\, where she became interested in organic synthesis working in the laboratory of Prof. Timo Ovaska. In 2006\, Sarah earned her Ph.D. in chem istry from Yale University\, conducting research with Prof. John L. Wood i n the area of natural product total synthesis. As an NIH post-doctoral fel low\, Sarah pursued studies in the field of asymmetric catalysis working w ith Prof. Eric Jacobsen at Harvard University. In 2008\, Sarah joined the faculty at the California Institute of Technology where she is now a Profe ssor of Chemistry and a Heritage Principal Investigator. Her laboratory se eks to discover\, develop\, and study new chemical reactions within the co ntext of natural product total synthesis. Prof. Reisman has been recognize d with a number of awards for teaching and research\, including an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship\, Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award\, the Amgen Yo ung Investigator Award\, the Novartis Early Career Award\, and the Bristol -Myers Squibb Unrestricted Grant in Synthetic Organic Chemistry.\n DTSTART:20181106T180000Z DTEND:20181106T193000Z LOCATION:Room 10\, Maass Chemistry Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B8\ , 801 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:CCVC Lecture Tour and Graduate Student Invited Lecturer: Sarah Reis man - Necessity is the Mother of Invention: Natural Products and the Chemi stry They Inspire URL:/chemistry/channels/event/ccvc-lecture-tour-and-gr aduate-student-invited-lecturer-sarah-reisman-necessity-mother-invention-2 90123 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
