Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

His primary scientific interests are in Organic chemistry, Catalysis, Stereochemistry, Metathesis and Combinatorial chemistry. He frequently studies issues relating to Polymer chemistry and Organic chemistry. His Catalysis study incorporates themes from Cationic polymerization, Reactivity and Medicinal chemistry.

His Stereochemistry research focuses on Alkene and how it relates to Enyne. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Ruthenium and Metathesis. In his study, Enyne metathesis is strongly linked to Salt metathesis reaction, which falls under the umbrella field of Alkyne metathesis.

His most cited work include:

  • Catalytic Carbophilic Activation: Catalysis by Platinum and Gold π Acids (1687 citations)
  • Olefin Metathesis and Beyond (1445 citations)
  • The Promise and Challenge of Iron-Catalyzed Cross Coupling (955 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Organic chemistry, Stereochemistry, Catalysis, Total synthesis and Metathesis. The study of Organic chemistry is intertwined with the study of Medicinal chemistry in a number of ways. His Stereochemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ring, Alkyne metathesis, Stille reaction and Stereoselectivity.

The concepts of his Catalysis study are interwoven with issues in Combinatorial chemistry and Polymer chemistry. His research integrates issues of Alkyne and Ligand in his study of Combinatorial chemistry. His studies deal with areas such as Derivative and Aldehyde as well as Total synthesis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Organic chemistry (38.77%)
  • Stereochemistry (38.35%)
  • Catalysis (31.36%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Catalysis (31.36%)
  • Stereochemistry (38.35%)
  • Total synthesis (26.91%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Alois Fürstner focuses on Catalysis, Stereochemistry, Total synthesis, Alkyne metathesis and Alkyne. Catalysis is a primary field of his research addressed under Organic chemistry. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Tetrahydrofuran, Allylic rearrangement, Ring, Protein target and Stille reaction.

Alois Fürstner has included themes like Derivative, Side chain, Intramolecular force and Aldol reaction in his Total synthesis study. Alois Fürstner has researched Alkyne metathesis in several fields, including Hydroalkoxylation, Molybdenum, Cycloalkyne and Lactone. His Alkyne research integrates issues from Bicyclic molecule, Alkene, Regioselectivity and Ruthenium.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Iron Catalysis in Organic Synthesis: A Critical Assessment of What It Takes To Make This Base Metal a Multitasking Champion (248 citations)
  • Interligand Interactions Dictate the Regioselectivity of trans-Hydrometalations and Related Reactions Catalyzed by [Cp*RuCl]. Hydrogen Bonding to a Chloride Ligand as a Steering Principle in Catalysis (85 citations)
  • Total Synthesis, Stereochemical Revision, and Biological Reassessment of Mandelalide A: Chemical Mimicry of Intrafamily Relationships (60 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

Stereochemistry, Catalysis, Alkyne metathesis, Total synthesis and Alkyne are his primary areas of study. His study in Stereochemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Rhodium, Homogeneous catalysis and Enzyme. His study with Catalysis involves better knowledge in Organic chemistry.

The various areas that Alois Fürstner examines in his Alkyne metathesis study include Cycloalkyne, Hydroalkoxylation, Ring, Propargyl and Stille reaction. His Total synthesis study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Molybdenum, Alcohol, Metathesis, Catalytic cycle and Derivative. His Alkyne study incorporates themes from Alkene, Small molecule, Regioselectivity and Ruthenium.
