Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Krische is a leading international organic chemist who has contributed fundamentally to the development of catalytic organic synthesis. During the last decade he has developed a new class of reductive carbon-carbon bond forming reactions which have revolutionized chemists' thinking on how to construct organic molecules. Krische's chemistry is intrinsically waste-free, in contrast to the traditionally employed organometallic chemistry relying on organolithium and magnesium compounds. This work has led to breakthrough in synthetic methodology, and in the long run it may become of fundamental importance for intermediate and fine chemical synthesis in the chemical industry. In Germany he will continue to develop new catalytic and resource saving chemical transformations.
