Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

His scientific interests lie mostly in Organic chemistry, Total synthesis, Catalysis, Combinatorial chemistry and Stereochemistry. Richmond Sarpong combines subjects such as Annulation and Organic synthesis with his study of Total synthesis. His Cycloisomerization study, which is part of a larger body of work in Catalysis, is frequently linked to Overall efficiency, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His research in Combinatorial chemistry intersects with topics in Natural product and Ring. Richmond Sarpong has researched Stereochemistry in several fields, including Guanidine and Dragmacidin D. His Stereoisomerism research incorporates elements of Bicyclic molecule and Cyclopropanation.

His most cited work include:

  • Production of the antimalarial drug precursor artemisinic acid in engineered yeast (2062 citations)
  • Intramolecular C(sp3)–H amination (207 citations)
  • The First Total Synthesis of Dragmacidin D (179 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Stereochemistry, Organic chemistry, Catalysis, Total synthesis and Combinatorial chemistry. His Stereochemistry study frequently involves adjacent topics like Molecule. His research brings together the fields of Lycopodium and Organic chemistry.

Richmond Sarpong frequently studies issues relating to Pyridine and Catalysis. His work on Lycopodium alkaloid as part of general Total synthesis study is frequently connected to Chemical synthesis, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. Combinatorial chemistry and Amination are frequently intertwined in his study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Stereochemistry (36.36%)
  • Organic chemistry (33.97%)
