Our group has studied the use of various molecular rearrangements and atom-economical transformations as particularly appeal ing means towards the streamlined synthesis of complex small molecule targ ets. In this lecture\, we will present an overview of our research in thes e areas focusing on the chemistries of sulfonium salts\, keteniminium ions and small strained rings\, and how they provide efficient solutions for t he discovery of unusual reactivity or concise total synthesis.\n\nBio:\n\n Nuno Maulide was born in Lisbon in 1979. After graduating in chemistry fro m the Instituto Superior Tecnico in 2003\, he completed an M.Sc. at the Ec ole Polytechnique in 2004 (Summa cum Laude\, ranking 1st out of 22 student s) and received his Ph.D. from the Universite catholique de Louvain in 200 7.He subsequently moved to Stanford University under Barry M. Trost for po stdoctoral studies before returning to Europe to take an endowed position as Max-Planck Research Group Leader at the Max-Planck-Institut fur Kohlenf orschung in early 2009\, where he also received a prestigious European Res earch Council (ERC) Starting Grant (2011). Since October 2013 he is Full P rofessor and Chair of Organic Synthesis at the University of Vienna. His r esearch interests span diverse areas within organic chemistry\, focusing o n unconventional reaction mechanisms and intermediates. Nuno Maulide has b een elected “Scientist of the Year” 2018-19 in Austria and is the youngest Corresponding Member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. He has received among others the Bayer Early Excellence in Science Award (2012)\, the ADU C prize of the German Chemical Society (2012)\, the inaugural EurJOC Young Researcher Award (2015)\, the Elisabeth Lutz Prize of the Austrian Academ y of Sciences (2016) and the Prize of the City of Vienna (2017). Furthermo re\, he is an ERC Starting (2011)\, Consolidator (2016) and Proof of Conce pt (2018) Grantee.\n DTSTART:20190528T170000Z DTEND:20190528T183000Z LOCATION:Ruttan Room\, Maass Chemistry Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B8\, 801 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:CCVC: Nuno Maulide - The beautiful simplicity of rearrangements URL:/chemistry/channels/event/ccvc-nuno-maulide-beauti ful-simplicity-rearrangements-296538 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
