Lutz Friedjan Tietze
Lutz Friedjan Tietze (born March 14, 1942 in Berlin ) is a German chemist . Since 1978 he has been Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry at the Georg-August University in Göttingen .
Life
Lutz Friedjan Tietze is the son of the district court director Friederich Tietze and Hete-Irene Tietze, nee. Kruse. He completed his studies at the Universities of Kiel and Freiburg with a diploma in 1966. This was followed by a doctorate under the direction of Burchard Franck on the subject of “Investigations into the targeted oxidation of laudanosoline derivatives”, also at the University of Kiel .
After a research stay with George Büchi at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge (USA) and with Alan R. Battersby at the University of Cambridge (England), he completed his habilitation in 1975 at the University of Münster with the topic “Secologanin, key compound in the biosynthesis of indole -, ipecacuanha and cinchona alkaloids. Studies on Biogenesis and Synthesis ". In the same year he was appointed private lecturer.
In 1977 he was offered a professorship at the University of Dortmund , which he left in 1978 to accept a professorship at the Faculty of Chemistry at the Georg-August University in Göttingen . He turned down a call to Münster in 1992. Tietze has published 452 publications and 4 books so far (March 2010) and received 32 patents .
Lutz Friedjan Tietze has been with Karin, geb. Krautschneider, married. The two have four children.
Research priorities
- Development of selective and efficient synthetic methods ( domino reactions , transition metal-catalyzed transformations, enantioselective allylation of ketones). He was instrumental in the development of the term and the categorization of domino reactions.
- Total synthesis of natural substances ( terpenes , steroids , alkaloids , macrolactones , antibiotics , anti-cancer drugs). Particularly noteworthy here are the total syntheses of vitamin E , hirsutin and indomycinones.
- High pressure syntheses
- Combinatorial chemistry in solutions and on the solid phase.
- Development of new cytotoxic compounds and vaccines for selective cancer therapy using monoclonal antibodies and ganglioside analogs.
