Daniel Kaiser

Daniel Kaiser is an External lecturer and Senior Scientist in the Department of Organic Chemistry at the University of Vienna. His research focuses on organic synthesis, catalysis, and reaction mechanisms, particularly in the areas of chiral synthesis, directed C–H activation, and functional group transformations. He has contributed to projects such as the synthesis of α-boryl radicals from 1,1-diboronates.

• Education: Not explicitly listed in available texts.

His research interests include the development of novel catalytic systems, asymmetric synthesis, and the exploration of hypervalent iodine chemistry for organic transformations. Recent work highlights cation-mediated oxidation of inert C–H bonds, umpolung cyclisations of ketones, and reductive cross-electrophile couplings for amine synthesis.

Publications (43 total) emphasize methodological advancements in organic synthesis. His work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in sustainable chemical processes.

• Grants/Projects: Led the project 'Herstellung von Alpha-Boryl Radikalen aus 1,1-Diboronaten' (2018–2021).

Collaborations span international teams, focusing on mechanistic studies and application of novel synthetic methodologies. No specific lab teams are named, but research is conducted within the Department of Organic Chemistry.
