Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Catalysis
  • Organic chemistry
  • Alkene

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Catalysis, Organic chemistry, Enantioselective synthesis, Ketone and Amination. His work on Regioselectivity is typically connected to Conjugated system as part of general Catalysis study, connecting several disciplines of science. In his research, Yian Shi undertakes multidisciplinary study on Organic chemistry and Terminal.

His research on Enantioselective synthesis also deals with topics like

  • Dioxirane and related Reaction path,
  • Selectivity, which have a strong connection to Transition state and Epoxide. His Ketone study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Fructose, Enol, Steric effects and Silylation. The Amination study combines topics in areas such as Yield, Stereoisomerism, Photochemistry, Copper and Double bond.

His most cited work include:

  • An Efficient Catalytic Asymmetric Epoxidation Method (413 citations)
  • Organocatalytic Oxidation. Asymmetric Epoxidation of Olefins Catalyzed by Chiral Ketones and Iminium Salts (346 citations)
  • Organocatalytic asymmetric epoxidation of olefins by chiral ketones. (325 citations)

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

Yian Shi mostly deals with Catalysis, Organic chemistry, Enantioselective synthesis, Ketone and Combinatorial chemistry. His Catalysis study combines topics in areas such as Aryl and Optically active. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Optically active, focusing on Transamination and, on occasion, Amino esters and Amine gas treating.

His study looks at the relationship between Enantioselective synthesis and topics such as Stereochemistry, which overlap with Stereoselectivity and Cyclopropanation. His Ketone research includes elements of Hydrogen peroxide and Epoxide. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Combinatorial chemistry, narrowing it down to issues related to the Molecule, and often Amination.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Catalysis (112.33%)
  • Organic chemistry (97.32%)
  • Enantioselective synthesis (37.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Catalysis (112.33%)
  • Organic chemistry (97.32%)
  • Optically active (32.17%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Catalysis, Organic chemistry, Optically active, Combinatorial chemistry and Enantioselective synthesis. The study incorporates disciplines such as Aryl and Formic acid in addition to Catalysis. Yian Shi performs multidisciplinary study on Organic chemistry and Ceric ammonium nitrate in his works.

Yian Shi has researched Optically active in several fields, including Transamination, Stereochemistry, Medicinal chemistry and Intermolecular force. In his research, Nitrogen source is intimately related to Amino esters, which falls under the overarching field of Stereochemistry. His work focuses on many connections between Combinatorial chemistry and other disciplines, such as Molecule, that overlap with his field of interest in Amination, Dihydroxylation and Double bond.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Organocatalytic asymmetric epoxidation and aziridination of olefins and their synthetic applications. (219 citations)
  • Catalytic diamination of olefins via N-N bond activation. (133 citations)
  • Palladium(0)-catalyzed Heck reaction/C-H activation/amination sequence with diaziridinone: a facile approach to indolines. (61 citations)

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

  • Catalysis
  • Organic chemistry
  • Alkene

Yian Shi mainly investigates Catalysis, Organic chemistry, Formic acid, Optically active and Molecule. Enantioselective synthesis and Amination are the subjects of his Catalysis studies. His study looks at the intersection of Enantioselective synthesis and topics like Phosphine with Stereoisomerism.

His Formic acid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Atom, Reaction conditions and Acetic anhydride. His studies in Optically active integrate themes in fields like Nucleophile, Cinchona Alkaloids, Bromine, Cinchona and Halogenation. He interconnects Combinatorial chemistry and Copper in the investigation of issues within Molecule.
