Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

Andreas Pfaltz mostly deals with Enantioselective synthesis, Catalysis, Organic chemistry, Medicinal chemistry and Iridium. His Enantioselective synthesis study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Allylic rearrangement, Oxazoline, Enantiomer, Stereochemistry and Combinatorial chemistry. The concepts of his Catalysis study are interwoven with issues in Ketone, Substituent and Copper.

The various areas that Andreas Pfaltz examines in his Medicinal chemistry study include Cobalt, Trifluoromethyl, Tsuji–Trost reaction and Asymmetric induction. His Iridium study incorporates themes from Aniline, Cationic polymerization, Phosphinite and Supercritical carbon dioxide. His Double bond research incorporates themes from Dihydroxylation, Hydroboration and Protonation.

His most cited work include:

  • Comprehensive asymmetric catalysis (2165 citations)
  • Comprehensive Asymmetric Catalysis I–III (1008 citations)
  • PhosphinooxazolinesA New Class of Versatile, Modular P,N-Ligands for Asymmetric Catalysis (949 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Catalysis, Enantioselective synthesis, Organic chemistry, Iridium and Asymmetric hydrogenation. His studies in Catalysis integrate themes in fields like Medicinal chemistry, Ligand, Polymer chemistry, Copper and Combinatorial chemistry. His research integrates issues of Photochemistry, Reactivity, Electrophile and Phosphine in his study of Medicinal chemistry.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Allylic rearrangement, Enantiomer, Stereochemistry and Oxazoline. His studies deal with areas such as Trifluoromethyl, Phosphinite and Optically active as well as Iridium. His Asymmetric hydrogenation research includes elements of Yield, Pyridine, Rhodium, Noyori asymmetric hydrogenation and Bicyclic molecule.

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Catalysis, Enantioselective synthesis, Organic chemistry, Asymmetric hydrogenation and Iridium. Andreas Pfaltz has included themes like Combinatorial chemistry, Photochemistry, Ligand and Medicinal chemistry in his Catalysis study. His Medicinal chemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Reactivity, Hydride and Alkene.

His Enantioselective synthesis research incorporates elements of Yield, Total synthesis, Allylic rearrangement and Stereoselectivity. His research in Asymmetric hydrogenation intersects with topics in Rhodium, Carbenoid, Polymer chemistry and Hydroxymethyl. His research investigates the connection between Iridium and topics such as Phosphinite that intersect with problems in Thiophene and Benzothiophene.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Organocatalytic Asymmetric Conjugate Addition of Aldehydes to Nitroolefins: Identification of Catalytic Intermediates and the Stereoselectivity‐Determining Step by ESI‐MS (51 citations)
