Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

His main research concerns Enantioselective synthesis, Stereochemistry, Organic chemistry, Sparteine and Electrophile. His Solenopsin A study, which is part of a larger body of work in Enantioselective synthesis, is frequently linked to Femoxetine, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Stereochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Molecule, Alkyl and Electrophilic substitution.

His Sparteine study incorporates themes from Medicinal chemistry, Benzylamine, Enantiomer and Hydrogen. His research in Electrophile intersects with topics in Carbanion and Reagent. Peter Beak interconnects Combinatorial chemistry and Substituent in the investigation of issues within Carbanion.

His most cited work include:

  • Beyond Thermodynamic Acidity: A Perspective on the Complex‐Induced Proximity Effect (CIPE) in Deprotonation Reactions (512 citations)
  • Regioselective, Diastereoselective, and Enantioselective Lithiation−Substitution Sequences: Reaction Pathways and Synthetic Applications (421 citations)
  • Stereo- and regiocontrol by complex induced proximity effects: reactions of organolithium compounds (357 citations)

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

Peter Beak focuses on Medicinal chemistry, Stereochemistry, Organic chemistry, Enantioselective synthesis and Deprotonation. His study looks at the intersection of Medicinal chemistry and topics like Reagent with Inorganic chemistry. His work on Sparteine and Enantiomer as part of his general Stereochemistry study is frequently connected to Substitution, Beta and Alpha, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

As part of his studies on Organic chemistry, Peter Beak often connects relevant areas like Computational chemistry. His work deals with themes such as Adduct, Electrophile, Allylic rearrangement and Aryl, which intersect with Enantioselective synthesis. His Electrophile study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hydrolysis and Electrophilic substitution.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Medicinal chemistry (28.72%)
  • Stereochemistry (28.72%)
  • Organic chemistry (27.30%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2000-2010)?

  • Stereochemistry (28.72%)
  • Enantioselective synthesis (16.67%)
  • Organic chemistry (27.30%)

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

His primary areas of study are Stereochemistry, Enantioselective synthesis, Organic chemistry, Allylic rearrangement and Conjugate. His Enantiomer and Sparteine study are his primary interests in Stereochemistry. His Enantioselective synthesis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Addition reaction and Asymmetric carbon, Alkyl.

He mostly deals with Stereoisomerism in his studies of Organic chemistry. He has researched Allylic rearrangement in several fields, including Electrophile, Stereocenter, Medicinal chemistry and Transmetalation. His Electrophile research incorporates themes from Combinatorial chemistry, Ketone, Tetrahydroisoquinoline and Reaction mechanism.

Between 2000 and 2010, his most popular works were:

  • Beyond Thermodynamic Acidity: A Perspective on the Complex‐Induced Proximity Effect (CIPE) in Deprotonation Reactions (512 citations)
  • Jenseits thermodynamischer Acidität: der Komplex‐induzierte Näherungseffekt (CIPE) bei Deprotonierungen (212 citations)
  • Asymmetric Carbon−Carbon Bond Formations in Conjugate Additions of Lithiated N-Boc Allylic and Benzylic Amines to Nitroalkenes: Enantioselective Synthesis of Substituted Piperidines, Pyrrolidines, and Pyrimidinones (83 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

Peter Beak mostly deals with Stereochemistry, Enantioselective synthesis, Conjugate, Organic chemistry and Stereoisomerism. His Bicyclic molecule and Diastereomer study in the realm of Stereochemistry connects with subjects such as Deprotonation. The concepts of his Enantioselective synthesis study are interwoven with issues in Allylic rearrangement, Sparteine and Medicinal chemistry.

His Medicinal chemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Reaction rate, Heteronuclear molecule and Kinetic isotope effect. His Organic chemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Computational chemistry and Proximity effect. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Combinatorial chemistry, Electrophile and Amine gas treating.
