Erick M. Carreira
Erick Moran Carreira (born May 30, 1963 in Havana , Cuba ) is an American chemist at the ETH Zurich .
Life
Carreira earned a Bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1984 under Scott E. Denmark and a Ph.D. in 1990. at Harvard University under David A. Evans . As a postdoctoral fellow he worked with Peter Dervan at the California Institute of Technology , where he became a lecturer at the end of 1992 , rose to associate professor in 1996 , and full professor in 1997. Since September 1998 he has held a professorship for organic chemistry at the ETH Zurich .

Carreira is concerned with the stereoselective synthesis of biologically active, stereochemically complex natural products . The target molecules have particular challenges in terms of creating asymmetric bonds. For the necessary complex and multistep syntheses new reactions and catalytic and stoichiometric reagents designed, the methods, the organometallic chemistry , the coordination chemistry and molecular recognition (molecular recognition) use. Carreira succeeded in the total synthesis of epothilone B as an example .
