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, Medicinal chemistry, Photochemistry, Catalysis and Reagent. His study in Organic chemistry focuses on Ethylene, Halogenation, Stereoselectivity, Organic reaction and Acetonitrile. In the field of Medicinal chemistry, his study on Hexamethylphosphoramide overlaps with subjects such as Reaction product.

His Photochemistry research includes elements of Fluorocarbon, Alkyl radicals and Ring. He combines subjects such as Yield, Substituent, Radical and Fluorine with his study of Catalysis. William R. Dolbier has researched Reagent in several fields, including Iodide, Halocarbon, Carbene, Trifluoromethylation and Nucleophile.

His most cited work include:

  • Fluorine chemistry at the millennium (285 citations)
  • Structure, Reactivity, and Chemistry of Fluoroalkyl Radicals. (259 citations)
  • Efficient Cu‐catalyzed Atom Transfer Radical Addition Reactions of Fluoroalkylsulfonyl Chlorides with Electron‐deficient Alkenes Induced by Visible Light (208 citations)

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

William R. Dolbier focuses on Organic chemistry, Medicinal chemistry, Photochemistry, Stereochemistry and Fluorine. His is involved in several facets of Organic chemistry study, as is seen by his studies on Reagent, Yield, Reactivity, Catalysis and Fluorocarbon. His Yield research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Combinatorial chemistry and Difluorocarbene.

William R. Dolbier studied Medicinal chemistry and Nucleophile that intersect with Trifluoromethylation. His Photochemistry study incorporates themes from Hydrogen atom abstraction and Thermal. William R. Dolbier frequently studies issues relating to Computational chemistry and Stereochemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Organic chemistry (35.68%)
  • Medicinal chemistry (28.38%)
  • Photochemistry (16.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2020)?

  • Organic chemistry (35.68%)
  • Medicinal chemistry (28.38%)
  • Catalysis (9.46%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Organic chemistry, Medicinal chemistry, Catalysis, Yield and Reagent. His study in Fluorine, Aryl, Reactivity, Acetonitrile and Difluorocarbene is carried out as part of his studies in Organic chemistry. His work deals with themes such as Photochemistry, Cyclophane, Ring and Nucleophile, which intersect with Medicinal chemistry.

His Catalysis research includes elements of Radical and Intramolecular force. His Yield study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Combinatorial chemistry and Copper. His Reagent research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Electrophile, Molecule, Bromide, Metal and Trifluoromethyl.

Between 2006 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Efficient Cu‐catalyzed Atom Transfer Radical Addition Reactions of Fluoroalkylsulfonyl Chlorides with Electron‐deficient Alkenes Induced by Visible Light (208 citations)
  • Photoredox-Catalyzed Tandem Radical Cyclization of N-Arylacrylamides: General Methods To Construct Fluorinated 3,3-Disubstituted 2-Oxindoles Using Fluoroalkylsulfonyl Chlorides (164 citations)
  • Guide to Fluorine NMR for Organic Chemists (118 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Alkene

William R. Dolbier mainly focuses on Organic chemistry, Medicinal chemistry, Catalysis, Fluorine and Reagent. Aryl, Yield, Ring, Reactivity and Acetonitrile are the primary areas of interest in his Organic chemistry study. In his work, Nucleophile is strongly intertwined with Photochemistry, which is a subfield of Medicinal chemistry.

The concepts of his Catalysis study are interwoven with issues in Trimethylsilyl, Radical, Intramolecular force and Radical cyclization. In his study, Biological activity, Bromine trifluoride, Fluorine-19 NMR, Bifunctional and Iodine pentafluoride is inextricably linked to Substituent, which falls within the broad field of Fluorine. His Reagent study combines topics in areas such as Hydrogen bromide, Ionic liquid, Bromide, Ketone and Trifluoromethyl.
