Hans-Ulrich Blaser
Hans-Ulrich Blaser (born June 30, 1943 in Bischofszell ) is a Swiss chemist ( organic chemistry ).
He grew up in Bischofszell and Langnau and passed the high school diploma in 1962 at the Frauenfeld canton school . Blaser studied at the ETH Zurich with a diploma in 1966 and received his doctorate under Albert Eschenmoser in 1971 (production and properties of a metal-free Corrin derivative). He was a post-doctoral student at the University of Chicago , Harvard University and Monsanto in Zurich. From 1976 he was in the research laboratories of Ciba-Geigy , where he set up the catalysis department. He has been Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Solvias AG in Basel since it was founded .
He deals with organometallic and asymmetric ( enantioselective ) organic catalysis, for example in hydrogenation reactions. With this he succeeded in the industrial synthesis of the herbicide metolachlor at Ciba-Geigy .
In 2009 he received the Horst Pracejus Prize and in 2010 the Paul N. Rylander Award from the Organic Reactions Catalysis Society (ORCS).
