Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Hydrogen

John C. Walton focuses on Radical, Organic chemistry, Photochemistry, Medicinal chemistry and Electron paramagnetic resonance. His studies in Radical integrate themes in fields like Oxime, Ring and Double bond. The various areas that John C. Walton examines in his Ring study include Combinatorial chemistry and Molecule.

His research integrates issues of Reaction rate constant, Boranes, Borane and Carbene in his study of Photochemistry. His Medicinal chemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Dissociation and Alkyl. The study incorporates disciplines such as Yield, Silica gel, Reactivity, Vitamin E and Vitamin C in addition to Electron paramagnetic resonance.

His most cited work include:

  • FLIGHT FROM THE TYRANNY OF TIN : THE QUEST FOR PRACTICAL RADICAL SOURCES FREE FROM METAL ENCUMBRANCES (241 citations)
  • Programming Organic Molecules: Design and Management of Organic Syntheses through Free-Radical Cascade Processes. (174 citations)
  • N-Heterocyclic Carbene Boryl Radicals: A New Class of Boron-Centered Radical (173 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Radical, Photochemistry, Medicinal chemistry, Electron paramagnetic resonance and Organic chemistry. His studies in Radical integrate themes in fields like Ring, Alkyl and Stereochemistry. His work deals with themes such as Yield, Reagent and Combinatorial chemistry, which intersect with Ring.

In general Photochemistry study, his work on Free-radical addition often relates to the realm of Spectroscopy, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Steric effects, Dissociation and Reaction mechanism. His studies deal with areas such as Crystallography, Substituent and Physical chemistry as well as Electron paramagnetic resonance.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Radical (67.52%)
  • Photochemistry (38.62%)
  • Medicinal chemistry (31.20%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2021)?

  • Radical (67.52%)
  • Ring (17.39%)
  • Photochemistry (38.62%)

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

John C. Walton spends much of his time researching Radical, Ring, Photochemistry, Organic chemistry and Electron paramagnetic resonance. His Radical research incorporates elements of Oxime, Medicinal chemistry, Molecule, Carbene and Aryl. His Medicinal chemistry research includes themes of Hydrogen atom abstraction and Borane.

His Ring research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Yield, Reagent, Reaction rate constant, Intramolecular force and Quinazoline. The Photochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Substituent, Dissociation, Deprotonation and Organic synthesis. His work in Electron paramagnetic resonance addresses issues such as Stereochemistry, which are connected to fields such as Nucleophilic substitution.

Between 2005 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • N-Heterocyclic Carbene Boryl Radicals: A New Class of Boron-Centered Radical (173 citations)
  • EPR Studies of the Generation, Structure, and Reactivity of N-Heterocyclic Carbene Borane Radicals (145 citations)
  • Microwave-assisted syntheses of N-heterocycles using alkenone-, alkynone- and aryl-carbonyl O-phenyl oximes: formal synthesis of neocryptolepine. (110 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Hydrogen

His main research concerns Radical, Organic chemistry, Ring, Oxime and Photochemistry. His Radical study combines topics in areas such as Medicinal chemistry, Photoredox catalysis, Electron paramagnetic resonance, Combinatorial chemistry and Aryl. Medicinal chemistry is often connected to Alkyl in his work.
