Sulfur Dioxide Insertion Reactions for Organic Synthesis

Jie Wu received his B.Sc. in chemistry from Jiangxi Normal University in 1995 and pursued his Ph.D. studies at Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences under the supervision of Prof. Xue-Long Hou (1995-2000). After conducting research as a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University (2000-2001), he worked as a visiting scientist at the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center (2001-2002) and a staff scientist at VivoQuest, Inc. (2002-2004). In 2004, he moved to the Department of Chemistry at Fudan University and became a professor two years later. He received the Thieme Chemistry Journals Award in 2010 and Dow Innovation Challenge Award in 2013 and serves as a member of the Editorial Advisory Board of ACS Combinatorial Science.
