DESCRIPTION:Direct C–H amination chemistry via electrophilic subvalent ni
 trogen intermediates could radically simplify access to nitrogen-containin
 g small molecules by providing the chemical tools to selectively convert u
 biquitous C–H bonds to valuable C–N bonds. At present\, challenges in 
 chemoselectivity\, sustainability\, and synthetic versatility prevent real
 ization of the synthetic potential of C–H amination. This talk will desc
 ribe recent efforts from the Powers Laboratory that advance 1) new strateg
 ies to structurally characterize transient intermediates in C–H function
 alization reactions\, 2) novel metal-free approaches to the sustainable ge
 neration of strong oxidants needed in C–H functionalization reactions\, 
 and 3) bifunctional reagent platforms that enable rapid elaboration of the
  primary products of C–H amination. Future directions and challenges wil
 l be discussed.\n\nBio:\n\nDave was born in Allentown\, PA and pursued und
 ergraduate education at Franklin and Marshall College. He earned a Ph.D. f
 rom Harvard University with Prof. Tobias Ritter and pursued postdoctoral r
 esearch at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard Universit
 y with Prof. Daniel Nocera. He joined the Texas A&M faculty in 2015 and wa
 s promoted to Associate Professor in 2021. His research program focuses on
  the chemistry of sustainably generated reactive intermediates in catalysi
 s and has been recognized by an NSF CAREER award\, a DOE Early Career Awar
 d\, NIH MIRA\, and a 2020 Sloan Fellowship. His efforts in the classroom h
 ave been recognized by Montague-Center for Teach Excellence and Associatio
 n of Former Students College-Level Teaching Awards.
