报告摘要

Our research group is primarily focused on the development and exploration of highly selective catalytic transformations, with a particular emphasis on reactions involving well-defined transient reaction intermediates. Among these intermediates, carbenes represent a unique and intriguing class of reactive species that offer a plethora of opportunities for synthetic innovation and the advancement of organic chemistry. In our pursuit to understand and harness the hidden and alternative reactivities of these divalent species, we have developed novel approaches to carbene catalysis that enable the control of synthetic outcomes and selectivity. In this symposium, I will present our recent findings on two distinct yet complementary aspects of carbene catalysis: carbene mimetic catalysis and cascade catalysis. Our work on carbene mimetic catalysis explores the potential of carbene-like species to participate in catalytic cycles, thereby unveiling new reactivity patterns and enabling the development of innovative synthetic catalysis. Conversely, our exploration of cascade catalysis emphasizes the design of bis-carbene precursors that exploit the capacity of these reagents to generate two transient carbene species in a sequential manner, thereby facilitating highly chemo- and stereoselective poly-insertion reactions.
