DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nThe unique properties of the fluorine atom make it
  significant in medicinal chemistry\, agrochemistry\, and material science
 s. Further development in these fields is closely related to the developme
 nt of practical\, selective\, and efficient methodologies for the synthesi
 s of fluorinated molecules\, but also on fundamental understanding of thei
 r reactivity and behaviours. Over the years\, our group has explored vario
 us aspects of the chemistry of organofluorine compounds\, including (1) th
 e development of novel methodologies for their synthesis\; (2) the explora
 tion of new means to activate the C-F bond\; (3) the design and synthesis 
 of novel fluorinated probes\, and (4) the application of this knowledge to
  medicinal chemistry.\n\n \n\nThis presentation will be divided in two par
 ts. In the first one\, hydrofluorination reactions of alkenes and alkynes 
 will be described. In the second part\, the hydropentafluorosulfanylation 
 of terminal alkynes will be presented.\n\n \n\nBio:\n\nJean-François Paqui
 n received his PhD in 2004 from the University of Toronto under the superv
 ision of Prof. Mark Lautens. After a postdoctoral stay in Prof. Erick M. C
 arreira's lab at the ETH Zürich\, he was appointed assistant professor in 
 2005 at the Université Laval in Quebec City. He was promoted to associate 
 professor in 2010 to full professor in 2014. His research interests includ
 e the development of novel methodologies for the synthesis of organofluori
 ne compounds and their applications for the preparation of bioactive fluor
 inated compounds or fluorinated biological probes. In 2016\, he was awarde
 d the Keith Fagnou Award from the Canadian Society for Chemistry. He has c
 o-authored more than ninety-seven publications and has presented more than
  one hundred invited lectures.\n
