Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

His primary areas of investigation include Organic chemistry, Palladium, Catalysis, Halide and Medicinal chemistry. In general Organic chemistry study, his work on Organopalladium, Acylation, Metal and Group often relates to the realm of Methylation, thereby connecting several areas of interest. Richard F. Heck usually deals with Palladium and limits it to topics linked to Polymer chemistry and Cobalt.

His Halide research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Allylic rearrangement and Substitution reaction. His studies deal with areas such as Aryl, Annulation and Triethylamine as well as Medicinal chemistry. His Aryl research includes themes of Hydrogen, Bicyclic molecule and Diphenylacetylene.

His most cited work include:

  • Palladium-catalyzed vinylic hydrogen substitution reactions with aryl, benzyl, and styryl halides (1492 citations)
  • Palladium-catalyzed vinylation of organic halides (829 citations)
  • Palladium-catalyzed reactions of organic halides with olefins (690 citations)

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

Richard F. Heck focuses on Organic chemistry, Palladium, Catalysis, Medicinal chemistry and Polymer chemistry. The concepts of his Palladium study are interwoven with issues in Allylic rearrangement, Substitution reaction and Ethylene. The various areas that Richard F. Heck examines in his Catalysis study include Yield and Halide.

His Substituent study in the realm of Medicinal chemistry connects with subjects such as Alpha. His studies examine the connections between Polymer chemistry and genetics, as well as such issues in Photochemistry, with regards to Transition metal. His Aryl course of study focuses on Hydrogen and Carbon.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Organic chemistry (50.00%)
  • Palladium (47.06%)
  • Catalysis (42.16%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1985-2010)?

  • Organic chemistry (50.00%)
  • Medicinal chemistry (36.27%)
  • Palladium (47.06%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Organic chemistry, Medicinal chemistry, Palladium, Catalysis and Bicyclic molecule. His research in Dimer, Allylic rearrangement, Alkyl, Substituent and Trifluoromethanesulfonate are components of Organic chemistry. His Allylic rearrangement research incorporates elements of Substitution reaction, Coupling reaction, Tertiary amine, Halide and Nucleophile.

His work carried out in the field of Medicinal chemistry brings together such families of science as Alkene, Platinum, Organopalladium and Methanol. His research in Palladium intersects with topics in Alkynylation, Aryl, Diphenylacetylene and Triethylamine. Richard F. Heck interconnects Salt and Hydrocarbon in the investigation of issues within Bicyclic molecule.

Between 1985 and 2010, his most popular works were:

  • Palladium‐Catalyzed Vinylation of Organic Halides (149 citations)
  • Palladium-catalyzed annulation of aryl iodides with diphenylacetylene (129 citations)
  • Alkyne reactions with arylpalladium compounds (112 citations)
