Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

K. A. Woerpel mostly deals with Stereochemistry, Oxocarbenium, Nucleophilic substitution, Stereoselectivity and Organic chemistry. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Suzuki reaction, Palladium, Stille reaction, Computational chemistry and Nucleophile. His studies deal with areas such as Substituent, Steric effects, Alkoxy group and Ring as well as Oxocarbenium.

In his work, Heteroatom is strongly intertwined with Conformational isomerism, which is a subfield of Substituent. His Nucleophilic substitution study is concerned with Medicinal chemistry in general. The concepts of his Stereoselectivity study are interwoven with issues in Diol, Organic reaction, Stereospecificity and Lithium.

His most cited work include:

  • Ferroptosis: A Regulated Cell Death Nexus Linking Metabolism, Redox Biology, and Disease (1069 citations)
  • Bis(oxazolines) as chiral ligands in metal-catalyzed asymmetric reactions. Catalytic, asymmetric cyclopropanation of olefins (728 citations)
  • Stereochemistry of Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions Depending upon Substituent: Evidence for Electrostatic Stabilization of Pseudoaxial Conformers of Oxocarbenium Ions by Heteroatom Substituents (187 citations)

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

Organic chemistry, Medicinal chemistry, Catalysis, Stereochemistry and Stereoselectivity are his primary areas of study. The various areas that K. A. Woerpel examines in his Medicinal chemistry study include Oxonium ion, Ring, Photochemistry, Reactivity and Nucleophile. He has researched Catalysis in several fields, including Metal, Polymer chemistry and Silylene.

His study in Stereochemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Nucleophilic substitution, Stereocenter, Lewis acids and bases and Oxocarbenium. His work is dedicated to discovering how Oxocarbenium, Substituent are connected with Alkoxy group and other disciplines. His Stereoselectivity research includes themes of Formamides and Organic synthesis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Organic chemistry (38.71%)
  • Medicinal chemistry (33.64%)
  • Catalysis (27.19%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Medicinal chemistry (33.64%)
  • Ring (16.59%)
  • Catalysis (27.19%)

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

His primary areas of study are Medicinal chemistry, Ring, Catalysis, Reactivity and Reagent. His Medicinal chemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Group, Adduct, Allylic rearrangement and Diastereomer. His Ring research incorporates themes from Stereochemistry, Nucleophile and Concerted reaction.

K. A. Woerpel studies Nucleophile, focusing on Oxocarbenium in particular. His Catalysis research integrates issues from Cobalt and Photochemistry. His Alkyl study is concerned with the larger field of Organic chemistry.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Ferroptosis: A Regulated Cell Death Nexus Linking Metabolism, Redox Biology, and Disease (1069 citations)
  • FINO2 initiates ferroptosis through GPX4 inactivation and iron oxidation. (135 citations)
  • Five-Membered Ring Peroxide Selectively Initiates Ferroptosis in Cancer Cells (41 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

His main research concerns Oxidative stress, Cancer cell, Reactivity, Medicinal chemistry and Ring. His Oxidative stress study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Apoptosis, Programmed cell death and Cell biology. K. A. Woerpel focuses mostly in the field of Reactivity, narrowing it down to matters related to Cycloaddition and, in some cases, Photochemistry, Ring strain, Cycloheptene and Nucleophile.

His Medicinal chemistry research includes elements of Hydroboration, Alkene and Halide. His study in Stereochemistry extends to Ring with its themes. K. A. Woerpel does research in Stereochemistry, focusing on Steric effects specifically.
