Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

His main research concerns Organic chemistry, Medicinal chemistry, Aryl, Catalysis and Electrophile. Organic chemistry is a component of his Diselenide, Enantioselective synthesis, Reagent, Nucleophilic substitution and Michael reaction studies. The various areas that Lorenzo Testaferri examines in his Reagent study include Selenium and Addition reaction.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ion, Ketone and Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Lorenzo Testaferri has researched Catalysis in several fields, including Hydrogen peroxide, Diphenyl diselenide and Double bond. His Electrophile research incorporates themes from Yield and Methanol.

His most cited work include:

  • Asymmetric Azidoselenenylation of Alkenes: A Key Step for the Synthesis of Enantiomerically Enriched Nitrogen‐Containing Compounds (97 citations)
  • A Convenient Synthesis of Bipyridines by Nickel-Phosphine Complex-Mediated Homo Coupling of Halopyridines (90 citations)
  • Simple Syntheses of Aryl Alkyl Thioethers and of Aromatic Thiols from Unactivated Aryl Halides and Efficient Methods for Selective Dealkylation of Aryl Alkyl Ethers and Thioethers (82 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Organic chemistry, Medicinal chemistry, Selenium, Reagent and Electrophile. Lorenzo Testaferri integrates several fields in his works, including Organic chemistry and Ammonium persulfate. His Medicinal chemistry research includes elements of Alkylation, Homolysis, Stereochemistry, Alkyl and Nucleophile.

His study in Nucleophile is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Aliphatic compound, Ring, Reactivity, Intramolecular force and Nucleophilic substitution. His work carried out in the field of Selenium brings together such families of science as Yield and Stereospecificity. His studies deal with areas such as Methanol, Diselenide, Regioselectivity, Combinatorial chemistry and Trifluoromethanesulfonate as well as Electrophile.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Organic chemistry (56.33%)
  • Medicinal chemistry (35.00%)
  • Selenium (21.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2014)?

  • Organic chemistry (56.33%)
  • Reagent (19.00%)
  • Enantioselective synthesis (11.67%)

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

Lorenzo Testaferri mostly deals with Organic chemistry, Reagent, Enantioselective synthesis, Catalysis and Selenium. His Reagent research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Electrophile, Copper, Combinatorial chemistry, Nucleophile and Addition reaction. His Enantioselective synthesis study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Amine gas treating, Carboxylic group, Medicinal chemistry and Acetylene.

His Medicinal chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Stereochemistry and Stereoselectivity. His research investigates the connection with Catalysis and areas like Diphenyl diselenide which intersect with concerns in Aqueous medium, Oxidizing agent, Double bond and Hydrogen peroxide. His Selenium research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sodium azide, Terpene and Markovnikov's rule.

Between 2005 and 2014, his most popular works were:

  • Eco‐Friendly Olefin Dihydroxylation Catalyzed by Diphenyl Diselenide (80 citations)
  • Preparation of the First Bench‐Stable Phenyl Selenolate: an Interesting “On Water” Nucleophilic Reagent (64 citations)
  • A New Stereoselective Synthesis of Cyclopropanes Containing Quaternary Stereocentres via Organocatalytic Michael Addition to Vinyl Selenones (52 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

Lorenzo Testaferri mainly investigates Organic chemistry, Enantioselective synthesis, Michael reaction, Reagent and Electrophile. His study involves Enantiopure drug, Catalysis, Intramolecular force, Acylation and Enantiomer, a branch of Organic chemistry. The study incorporates disciplines such as Silver tetrafluoroborate, Camphor and Diselenide in addition to Enantioselective synthesis.

His Michael reaction study incorporates themes from Bifunctional, Stereocenter, Organocatalysis, Adduct and One-pot synthesis. His research integrates issues of Nucleophile and Addition reaction in his study of Reagent. As part of his studies on Electrophile, Lorenzo Testaferri often connects relevant areas like Selenium.
