Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

His primary areas of investigation include Organic chemistry, Catalysis, Stereochemistry, Enantioselective synthesis and Palladium. Alkylation, Nucleophile, Allylic rearrangement, Zinc and Chemoselectivity are among the areas of Organic chemistry where the researcher is concentrating his efforts. His Catalysis research includes themes of Combinatorial chemistry and Medicinal chemistry.

His Medicinal chemistry study which covers Ruthenium that intersects with Cycloisomerization. His research integrates issues of Cycloaddition and Asymmetric induction in his study of Stereochemistry. The study incorporates disciplines such as Ligand, Chirality and Aldol reaction in addition to Enantioselective synthesis.

His most cited work include:

  • The atom economy--a search for synthetic efficiency (3018 citations)
  • Asymmetric Transition Metal-Catalyzed Allylic Alkylations. (2003 citations)
  • Atom Economy—A Challenge for Organic Synthesis: Homogeneous Catalysis Leads the Way (1841 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Catalysis, Organic chemistry, Stereochemistry, Palladium and Enantioselective synthesis. His research in Catalysis intersects with topics in Combinatorial chemistry and Medicinal chemistry. His study in Organic chemistry concentrates on Alkylation, Nucleophile, Allylic rearrangement, Aliphatic compound and Bicyclic molecule.

His work on Stereochemistry is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Ring. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cycloaddition and Polymer chemistry. His Enantioselective synthesis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ligand and Stereoisomerism.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Catalysis (46.42%)
  • Organic chemistry (40.01%)
  • Stereochemistry (25.73%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2021)?

  • Catalysis (46.42%)
  • Enantioselective synthesis (19.92%)
  • Combinatorial chemistry (18.21%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Catalysis, Enantioselective synthesis, Combinatorial chemistry, Organic chemistry and Palladium. Much of his study explores Catalysis relationship to Ligand. His Enantioselective synthesis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Aldol reaction, Stereochemistry and Cycloaddition.

His Stereochemistry research incorporates elements of Ring and Michael reaction. His Combinatorial chemistry study also includes

  • Alkyne that intertwine with fields like Alkene,
  • Propargyl together with Isomerization. His research ties Medicinal chemistry and Palladium together.

Between 2008 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Asymmetric Syntheses of Oxindoleand Indole Spirocyclic Alkaloid Natural Products (768 citations)
  • The Direct Catalytic Asymmetric Aldol Reaction (516 citations)
  • The Enantioselective Addition of Alkyne Nucleophiles to Carbonyl Groups (325 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

His primary areas of study are Catalysis, Enantioselective synthesis, Organic chemistry, Stereochemistry and Nucleophile. Barry M. Trost has researched Catalysis in several fields, including Combinatorial chemistry, Molecule and Ligand. In the subject of general Enantioselective synthesis, his work in Stereocenter is often linked to Phosphoramidite, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His Medicinal chemistry research extends to Organic chemistry, which is thematically connected. The various areas that Barry M. Trost examines in his Stereochemistry study include Oxindole and Michael reaction. His Nucleophile research focuses on Electrophile and how it connects with Chiral ligand.
