Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Enzyme
  • Catalysis

His scientific interests lie mostly in Stereochemistry, Total synthesis, Natural product, Biochemistry and Proteome. His Stereochemistry study which covers Ring that intersects with Stereoselectivity, Catalysis, Alkene and Palladium. In the field of Total synthesis, his study on Retrosynthetic analysis overlaps with subjects such as Degradation.

His Natural product research incorporates elements of Tubulin and Paclitaxel. His Paclitaxel research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Taxadiene, Microtubule, Chemical synthesis and Semisynthesis. His study of Enzyme is a part of Biochemistry.

His most cited work include:

  • Total synthesis of taxol (812 citations)
  • Total synthesis of taxol (812 citations)
  • Palladium-catalyzed ring-forming aminoacetoxylation of alkenes. (285 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Stereochemistry, Organic chemistry, Combinatorial chemistry, Total synthesis and Natural product. His research on Stereochemistry also deals with topics like

  • Ring which is related to area like Nucleophile,
  • Stereocenter and related Polycyclic compound. While the research belongs to areas of Organic chemistry, Erik J. Sorensen spends his time largely on the problem of Medicinal chemistry, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Palladium and Allylic rearrangement.

Erik J. Sorensen specializes in Total synthesis, namely Retrosynthetic analysis. His work deals with themes such as Reactive intermediate and Chemical synthesis, which intersect with Natural product. Erik J. Sorensen studied Biochemistry and Tubulin that intersect with Paclitaxel, Taxus brevifolia and Semisynthesis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Stereochemistry (41.36%)
  • Organic chemistry (17.90%)
  • Combinatorial chemistry (17.28%)

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

  • Stereochemistry (41.36%)
  • Catalysis (12.35%)
  • Enzyme (11.11%)

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

Erik J. Sorensen spends much of his time researching Stereochemistry, Catalysis, Enzyme, Combinatorial chemistry and Cytochrome P450. The study incorporates disciplines such as Stereoisomerism, Ether, Ring, Chemical synthesis and Nucleophile in addition to Stereochemistry. Erik J. Sorensen interconnects Total synthesis, Dehydration, Polyketide and Epoxide in the investigation of issues within Stereoisomerism.

His Catalysis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Hydrogen atom abstraction, Nanotechnology and Medicinal chemistry. His Nanotechnology study incorporates themes from Natural product and Retrosynthetic analysis. His Enzyme research is included under the broader classification of Biochemistry.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Recent applications of C–H functionalization in complex natural product synthesis (132 citations)
  • The Uranyl Cation as a Visible-Light Photocatalyst for C(sp(3) )-H Fluorination. (63 citations)
  • Acceptorless dehydrogenation of small molecules through cooperative base metal catalysis (59 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Enzyme
  • Catalysis

His primary scientific interests are in Catalysis, Stereochemistry, Hydroxylation, Combinatorial chemistry and Reagent. His Catalysis research integrates issues from Photochemistry, Fluorine and Hydrogen atom abstraction. His Stereochemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Stereoisomerism, Dehydration, Carbene, Site selective and Chemical synthesis.

His Hydroxylation study is associated with Biochemistry. His Combinatorial chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Yield, Organic chemistry, Anthranilic acid and Aryl. His Reagent research incorporates themes from Benzaldehyde, Medicinal chemistry, Ligand, Crystal structure and Alkyl.
