Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Biochemistry

His main research concerns Organic chemistry, Stereochemistry, Medicinal chemistry, Inorganic chemistry and Platinum oxide. Organic chemistry is closely attributed to Gossypol in his study. In the field of Stereochemistry, his study on Quinone overlaps with subjects such as Tetrahydrocannabinol, Homologous chromosome and L-Ephedrine.

The concepts of his Medicinal chemistry study are interwoven with issues in Condensation reaction, Oxidative cyclization and Benzimidazole. His research integrates issues of Platinum and Catalysis in his study of Inorganic chemistry. His Platinum oxide research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Platinum black and Cinnamic aldehyde.

His most cited work include:

  • Gossypol, a pigment of cottonseed. (235 citations)
  • PLATINUM OXIDE AS A CATALYST IN THE REDUCTION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS. III. PREPARATION AND PROPERTIES OF THE OXIDE OF PLATINUM OBTAINED BY THE FUSION OF CHLOROPLATINIC ACID WITH SODIUM NITRATE1 (199 citations)
  • Structure of Cannabidiol, a Product Isolated from the Marihuana Extract of Minnesota Wild Hemp. I (131 citations)

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

Organic chemistry, Stereochemistry, Medicinal chemistry, Quinone and Rotation are his primary areas of study. His Organic chemistry study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Gossypol. Gossypol connects with themes related to Ether in his study.

The study of Stereochemistry is intertwined with the study of Nitro in a number of ways. His work in Quinone is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Adduct. Rotation combines with fields such as Aryl and Resolution in his research.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Organic chemistry (43.01%)
  • Stereochemistry (19.57%)
  • Medicinal chemistry (18.49%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1952-2010)?

  • Organic chemistry (43.01%)
  • Quinone (9.89%)
  • Medicinal chemistry (18.49%)

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

Roger Adams focuses on Organic chemistry, Quinone, Medicinal chemistry, Stereochemistry and Aryl. His research related to Imide, Halogen, Hydrolysis and Chloride might be considered part of Organic chemistry. Roger Adams has researched Quinone in several fields, including Methylene, Adduct and Addition reaction.

A large part of his Medicinal chemistry studies is devoted to 2-Aminopyridine. His specific area of interest is Stereochemistry, where he studies Alkaloid. Roger Adams integrates Aryl and Rotation in his studies.

Between 1952 and 2010, his most popular works were:

  • Gossypol, a pigment of cottonseed. (235 citations)
  • Thioethers from Halogen Compounds and Cuprous Mercaptides. II (91 citations)
  • Condensation Reactions of Picoline 1-Oxides (50 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Biochemistry

His primary areas of study are Organic chemistry, Medicinal chemistry, Stereochemistry, Quinone and Computational chemistry. His work on Organic chemistry deals in particular with Isoretronecanol, Halogen, Hydrazoic acid and Phenols. His Medicinal chemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Aryl, Alkyl, Oxidative cyclization and Benzimidazole.

His Stereochemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Senecio and Crotalaria incana. His studies deal with areas such as Crotalaria and Alkaloid as well as Senecio. His research investigates the link between Quinone and topics such as Adduct that cross with problems in Methylene and Photochemistry.
