from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Siegfried Blechert , (born March 1, 1946 in Aalborg , Denmark ) is a German chemist .

life and work

Siegfried Blechert studied chemistry from 1968 to 1971 at the University of Hanover . In 1974, he was as an academic student of Ekkehard Winterfeldt with a thesis on the synthesis of acridone - alkaloids doctorate . After several years as a research assistant, he did postdoctoral research with Pierre Potier in France on the synthesis of taxol and its derivative Taxotere . In 1983 he completed his habilitation at the University of Hanover on rearrangement reactions under NO bond breaking. From 1986 to 1990 he was professor of organic chemistry at the University of Bonn . In 1990 he received offers for professorships at the universities of Wuppertal , Paderborn , Ulm and the Technical University of Berlin . He followed the call to TU Berlin and has been Professor of Organic Chemistry there since 1990.

Current research areas are natural product synthesis as well as homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis ( olefin metathesis , hydroamination , heterogeneous photocatalysis with graphitic carbon nitrides ).
