Magnus Rueping

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Magnus Albert Rueping (born July 17, 1972 in Telgte ) is a German chemist ( organic chemistry , organic synthesis).

Live and act

Rueping studied chemistry at the TU Berlin , at Trinity College Dublin and received his doctorate in 2002 from the ETH Zurich with Dieter Seebach with his dissertation: Synthesis, structural and biological aspects of oligo (3-hydroxybutanoates) and of β- and γ-peptides . He then did research as a post-doctoral student with David A. Evans at Harvard University . In 2004 Rueping received a C3 professorship at the Goethe University Frankfurt am Main and in 2008 was appointed university professor for organic chemistry at RWTH Aachen University. In summer 2019, he moved to King Abdullah University in Saudi Arabia.

Honors

In 1997 Rueping received the Chemistry Prize of the Academy of Sciences in Göttingen “for pioneering work on enantioselective biomimetic hydrogenation and the use of chiral Brønsted acids in the synthesis of heterocycles and carbocycles as well as direct CC bond formation with CH functionalization” (laudation). In 2008 he received the ORCHEM Prize for his “contributions to organocatalysis, especially his work on enantioselective Brønsted acid catalysis” (laudatory speech).

In addition, Rueping received two awards from the European Research Council (ERC), first the ERC Starting Grant , which is awarded to young researchers two to seven years after completing their doctorate, and in 2014 the ERC Consolidator Grant .
