DESCRIPTION:Principles and Applications of Organic Electrosynthesis\n\n \n\
 nElectrochemistry presents unique opportunities for chemical synthesis\, b
 ut it also faces challenges that hinder widespread adoption by organic che
 mists and industrial practitioners. Fundamental thermodynamic and kinetic 
 concepts that are well established in the field of electrochemical energy 
 conversion have important implications for electrochemical synthesis. This
  talk will feature a series of vignettes from our group’s exploration of
  electrochemical synthesis\, including the role of electrochemical mediato
 rs to overcome overpotential limitations often encountered in electrosynth
 esis and development of new electrochemical oxidation and reduction reacti
 ons. Oxidation methods include the development of oxygen-atom-transfer rea
 ctions that use water as source of oxygen atoms. Examples include the prep
 aration of sulfoxides from sulfides\, epoxides from alkenes\, and N-oxides
  from aromatic nitrogen heterocycles. Reduction methods have prioritized N
 i-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling reactions\, with the goal of under
 standing the fundamental principles that govern reactivity and selectivity
  that could enable adoption of these methods in large-scale applications.\
 n\n \n\nShort Biography\n\nShannon S. Stahl is the Steenbock Professor of 
 Chemical Sciences in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Wisc
 onsin-Madison. He obtained his B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Il
 linois at Urbana-Champaign in 1988. He earned his PhD in Chemistry from Ca
 ltech in 1997\, working with Prof. John Bercaw\, and he conducted postdoct
 oral research at MIT from 1997–1999\, working with Prof. Stephen Lippard
 . At UW-Madison\, Stahl and his research group have studying redox catalys
 is\, with an emphasis on aerobic oxidation and electrochemical reactions. 
 Applications include chemical synthesis\, biomass conversion\, and energy 
 storage and conversion. He co-edited\, with Dr. Paul L. Alsters (DSM)\, Li
 quid Phase Aerobic Oxidation Catalysis (Wiley-VCH)\, highlighting applicat
 ions and opportunities for aerobic oxidation in industrial chemical synthe
 sis\, and he has developed an online short course on Organic Electrochemis
 try with Prof. Mohammad Rafiee. His work has been recognized by the ACS Aw
 ard in Organometallic Chemistry\, the Mitsui Chemicals Catalysis Science A
 ward\, the US EPA Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award and the ACS
  Award in Affordable Green Chemistry. He is a member of the American Acade
 my of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences.
