CONFÉRENCIER DATE PR ROBERT A. BRITTON Department of Chemistry Simon Fraser University Burnaby BC Lundi, 9 décembre 2019 TITRE New Strategies for the Synthesis of Stereochemically Rich Heterocycles and PET Imaging Agents, and Efforts to Decipher Bed Bug Communication RÉSUMÉ Our research program encompasses several aspects of natural product chemistry and drug discovery. Specifically, we are engaged in the structural identification and large scale synthesis of insect pheromones as well as the development of synthetic methods and strategies to access stereochemically rich heterocyclic natural products as leads for drug discovery. Central to our research philosophy is an emphasis on step economy and flexibility. This seminar will highlight our advances in deciphering and exploiting the chemical communication system of bed bugs, the development of convenient syntheses of stereochemically rich heterocycles including nucleoside analogues, and the identification of C-H fluorination strategies for the late-stage modification of drug leads and synthesis of PET imaging agents for oncology.
