Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Aldehyde

Rick L. Danheiser mainly focuses on Organic chemistry, Stereospecificity, Total synthesis, Bicyclic molecule and Annulation. Organic chemistry and Beta are two areas of study in which Rick L. Danheiser engages in interdisciplinary research. Rick L. Danheiser combines subjects such as Hydrolysis, Carboxylic acid, Acid catalysis and Lactone with his study of Total synthesis.

His work deals with themes such as Intramolecular force and Cycloaddition, which intersect with Bicyclic molecule. His Annulation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pericyclic reaction and Enone. His Ketone research includes themes of Diazo and Addition reaction.

His most cited work include:

  • Regiospecific alkylation of cyclic .beta.-diketone enol ethers. General synthesis of 4-alkylcyclohexenones (199 citations)
  • An improved method for the synthesis of .alpha.-diazo ketones (170 citations)
  • Stereospecific total synthesis of gibberellic acid. A key tricyclic intermediate (164 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Organic chemistry, Medicinal chemistry, Annulation, Stereochemistry and Diazo. His studies in Ketone, Reagent, Trimethylsilyl, Enone and Aliphatic compound are all subfields of Organic chemistry research. The Medicinal chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Ring, Intramolecular force, Cycloaddition and Silylation.

His Cycloaddition research integrates issues from Diels alder and Tosyl. His research in Stereochemistry is mostly focused on Total synthesis. Rick L. Danheiser focuses mostly in the field of Diazo, narrowing it down to matters related to Pericyclic reaction and, in some cases, Bicyclic molecule.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Organic chemistry (44.24%)
  • Medicinal chemistry (26.06%)
  • Annulation (13.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2020)?

  • Organic chemistry (44.24%)
  • Cycloaddition (9.70%)
  • Pericyclic reaction (7.88%)

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

Rick L. Danheiser mostly deals with Organic chemistry, Cycloaddition, Pericyclic reaction, Tandem and Medicinal chemistry. He undertakes multidisciplinary investigations into Organic chemistry and Polyacetylene in his work. His research integrates issues of Intramolecular force, Ene reaction and Tosyl in his study of Cycloaddition.

His work in Pericyclic reaction addresses issues such as Catalysis, which are connected to fields such as Molecule. His studies in Medicinal chemistry integrate themes in fields like Alkynylation, Phosphoramidate, Copper catalyzed and Silylation. His Stereochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ring and Annulation.

Between 2009 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Synthesis of Polycyclic Benzofused Nitrogen Heterocycles via a Tandem Ynamide Benzannulation/Ring Closing Metathesis Strategy. Application in a Formal Total Synthesis of (+)-FR900482 (62 citations)
  • Batch and Flow Photochemical Benzannulations Based on the Reaction of Ynamides and Diazo Ketones. Application to the Synthesis of Polycyclic Aromatic and Heteroaromatic Compounds (52 citations)
  • Cyano Diels−Alder and Cyano Ene Reactions. Applications in a Formal [2 + 2 + 2] Cycloaddition Strategy for the Synthesis of Pyridines (47 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Aldehyde

His primary scientific interests are in Pericyclic reaction, Cycloaddition, Stereochemistry, Organic chemistry and Ene reaction. His Pericyclic reaction research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Catalysis and Diazo. His research in Diazo intersects with topics in Photodissociation, Photochemistry and Ketone.

His Stereochemistry research incorporates elements of Ring and Annulation. The study of Organic chemistry is intertwined with the study of Combinatorial chemistry in a number of ways. His Ene reaction study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Diels alder and Hydrogen.
