2023年2月10日上午10:00，应365英国上市公司学院邀请，新加披国立大学吴杰教授访问我院，并在化学馆321报告厅做了题为 “On-Demand Automated Synthesis of Organic Small Molecules”的学术报告。此次报告由化学学院余达刚教授主持，刘小华教授、曾小明教授、廖建研究员、兰静波教授、宋振雷教授、林丽丽教授、王天利教授、郑柯教授、董顺喜教授、曹伟地教授、周吉亮教授、叶剑衡教授、付邵敏教授、夏莹教授、练仲教授、曹鹏教授和刘祥伟教授等校内外老师及学生参加了此次报告。
在本次报告中，吴杰教授首先深入浅出地阐述了复杂分子的自动化合成这一方向在有机合成领域的重要性，并介绍了他们课题组针对此目标所发展的停留微型管（SFTM）反应装置以及在此装置基础上所发展的一系列工作，对气体参与的反应表现出优异的效果。随后，吴杰教授基于他们课题组发展的流动化学这一高效合成手段，详细地介绍了eosin-Y这一HAT型光敏剂参与的一系列光催化反应，并重点介绍了该体系在多氢硅烷的逐级官能团化里的重要应用，通过该体系可以高选择地实现不同取代硅烷的快速构建，具有广阔的应用前景。吴杰教授报告内容丰富精彩，语言风趣幽默，生动地为大家展示了这一面向未来的自动化合成手段，并在报告过程中突出了自动化技术对合成化学的重要意义。在随后的自由提问环节，在座师生与吴杰教授进行了深入地讨论交流，大家获益匪浅。报告在全场师生热烈的掌声中落下了帷幕，结束后部分老师与吴杰教授进行了合影留念。
报告专家介绍:
Prof. Dr. Jie Wu received his B.S. degree from Beijing Normal University in 2006. In 2012, he pursued his PhD with Prof. James S. Panek at Boston University working on natural product total synthesis. In his postdoc research at MIT with Prof. Timothy Jamison and Prof. Alan Hatton, he has been exposed to the hard core of continuous flow chemistry. After that, he joined the Department of Chemistry at the National University of Singapore in 2015. In July 2021, he was promoted to tenured associate professor.
Prof. Wu focuses on new synthetic methodology development using photocatalysis assisted by advanced flow technologies. His group is also interested in the development of advanced flow technologies for on-demand and automated synthesis of functionalized organic molecules. He is a recipient of Tokyo Chemical Industry-SNIC Industry Award in Synthetic Chemistry (2021), NUS Young Research Award (2021), Yong Scientist Award (2020), Asian Core Program Lectureship Award (2017-2022), Thieme Chemistry Journal Award (2019), and NUS Chemistry Department Young Chemist Award (2018)
