Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Oxygen

His primary areas of investigation include Organic chemistry, Photochemistry, Catalysis, Medicinal chemistry and Dimethyldioxirane. The Photochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Photooxygenation, Singlet oxygen, Chemiluminescence, Dioxetane and Singlet state. His Singlet oxygen research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Chiral auxiliary, Steric effects and Ene reaction.

His Catalysis research incorporates themes from Enantiomer, Metal and Polymer chemistry. As part of one scientific family, Waldemar Adam deals mainly with the area of Medicinal chemistry, narrowing it down to issues related to the Stereochemistry, and often Adamantane. His work carried out in the field of Dimethyldioxirane brings together such families of science as Dioxirane, Acetone, Enol and Sulfone.

His most cited work include:

  • Dioxiranes: a new class of powerful oxidants (469 citations)
  • Kurzmitteilung / Short Communication A Convenient Preparation of Acetone Solutions of Dimethyldioxirane (399 citations)
  • Synthetic applications of nonmetal catalysts for homogeneous oxidations. (325 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Photochemistry, Organic chemistry, Medicinal chemistry, Stereochemistry and Catalysis. His Photochemistry study deals with Radical intersecting with Electron paramagnetic resonance. His studies in Dimethyldioxirane, Allylic rearrangement, Kinetic resolution, Dioxirane and Enantioselective synthesis are all subfields of Organic chemistry research.

His Medicinal chemistry research incorporates elements of Photooxygenation, Cycloaddition and Double bond. His Catalysis study combines topics in areas such as Optically active and Polymer chemistry. His studies in Ene reaction integrate themes in fields like Singlet oxygen and Regioselectivity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Photochemistry (34.74%)
  • Organic chemistry (32.04%)
  • Medicinal chemistry (23.65%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2001-2019)?

  • Organic chemistry (32.04%)
  • Photochemistry (34.74%)
  • Catalysis (12.76%)

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

Organic chemistry, Photochemistry, Catalysis, Stereoselectivity and Medicinal chemistry are his primary areas of study. His Photochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Singlet oxygen, Diradical, Singlet state, Electron paramagnetic resonance and Radical. His study in Singlet oxygen is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Steric effects, Ene reaction and Dimethyldioxirane.

Waldemar Adam combines subjects such as Oxygen, Adduct, Polymer chemistry and Hydrogen peroxide with his study of Catalysis. His research integrates issues of Solvent, Alkene, Bicyclic molecule, Stereochemistry and Reaction mechanism in his study of Stereoselectivity. His study looks at the intersection of Medicinal chemistry and topics like Double bond with Cycloaddition.

Between 2001 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • The nitroso ene reaction: a regioselective and stereoselective allylic nitrogen functionalization of mechanistic delight and synthetic potential. (181 citations)
  • Singlet-oxygen chemiluminescence in peroxide reactions. (178 citations)
  • cis-Stilbene and (1α,2β,3α)-(2-Ethenyl-3-methoxycyclopropyl)benzene as Mechanistic Probes in the MnIII(salen)-Catalyzed Epoxidation: Influence of the Oxygen Source and the Counterion on the Diastereoselectivity of the Competitive Concerted and Radical-Type Oxygen Transfer (127 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

Waldemar Adam mainly focuses on Stereochemistry, Photochemistry, Organic chemistry, Catalysis and Singlet oxygen. His work deals with themes such as Reaction mechanism, Diradical and Stereoselectivity, Paternò–Büchi reaction, which intersect with Stereochemistry. Waldemar Adam has included themes like Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Radical, Singlet state and Phase in his Photochemistry study.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Oxygen, Medicinal chemistry and Hydrogen peroxide in addition to Catalysis. His Medicinal chemistry research includes elements of Epoxide, Reactivity, Substrate, Selectivity and Metal chelation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Steric effects, Chemiluminescence and Ene reaction.
