报告人简介：
Dr. Yves Queneau is a Research Director at CNRS and Deputy-Director of the Institut de Chimie et Biochimie Moléculaires et Supramoléculaires (ICBMS), Lyon.
Dr Yves Queneau was born in 1960 in Paris, France. He graduated from the University of Paris-Sud (Orsay) in 1988, where he received his Ph.D on aqueous Diels Alder reactions involving glycodienes under the supervision of Professor André Lubineau. Appointed as CNRS research associate in 1988, he then pursued a post-doctoral studies in Prof Samuel Danishefsky’s group in New York, USA (1991) where he worked on the total synthesis of taxanes.
Back in France, he later moved to Lyon in a mixed CNRS-industrial research facility dedicated to sucrose chemistry where he was promoted to a Research Director in 1995 (equivalent to full professor). In 2003, he joined the Institut de Chimie et Biochimie Moléculaires et Supramoléculaires (ICBMS) at the University of Lyon, where he since leads the INSA-Lyon research team of Organic and Bioorganic Chemistry. He develops his research with a particular interest for the use of carbohydrates as renewable raw materials. As a specialist of carbohydrate chemistry, he is also involved in projects at the interface with biology. He was awarded the CNRS Bronze Medal in 1994 and the “Europol'Agro" Prize for Scientific Innovation in 1998. He was promoted to a Research Director 1st Class in 2007, and since 2009, he is also appointed as Honorary Professor at the University of Hull (UK). Dr Queneau is among the recipients of the 2010 and 2014 CNRS rewards for scientific excellence and doctoral supervision. Dr. Queneau has published more than 130 papers, book chapters and patents in his career. He teaches carbohydrate chemistry at the University of Savoie, at the Grenoble Polytechnical Institute, at the Glycoscience e-learning course of the University of Lisbon, and at the University of Hull (UK). He has supervised more than 25 PhD students, among which several Chinese Students sponsored by the Chinese Scholarship Council. Dr. Queneau is a member of several panels and boards, among which the editorial board of the Specialist Periodical Reports book series of the Royal Society of Chemistry for Carbohydrate Chemistry since 2014, the advisory board of the Journal of Carbohydrate Chemistry, and serves as expert for numerous international journals. He also co-edited two volumes of Topics in Current Chemistry dedicated to “carbohydrates in sustainable development” in 2010. With respect to its relationships with Chinese scientists, Dr Queneau has made numerous visits to China since 2005, giving lectures and courses in several universities. He has also been involved in the organisation of several French-Chinese meetings, in Lyon, Xiamen, Wuhan, Guangzhou and Shanghai. He is now involved in the FC2GChem (French-Chinese Conferences on Green Chemistry) organisation aiming at developing collaborative actions between French and Chinese scientists, in the academic and industrial sectors.
报告内容简介：
Carbohydrates are interesting resources for making new bio-based chemicals. Most popular targets are surfactants and monomers, as these two kinds of molecules have obvious wide industrial interest, either in low-added value compounds or in specialty chemicals. However due to the structural complexity of carbohydrates, the control of selectivity, with respect to the degree of substitution and the regiochemistry, remains challenging. Depending on the selectivity of the transformations, huge differences in properties are observed. These aspects will be illustrated by several recent results obtained in our team.
