Holger Feist

Dr. Holger Feist is a Senior Academic Councillor in the Department of Organic Chemistry at the University of Rostock, where he has been actively contributing since 1990. He is affiliated with the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences and is a member of Prof. P. Langer's research group. His roles include teaching, research, and serving as the Safety Officer at the Institute of Chemistry.

Research Interests: His work centers on synthetic organic chemistry, particularly cyclization and domino reactions, with a focus on carbohydrate-derived systems. He investigates novel methodologies for constructing carbocycles and heterocycles, often using push-pull functionalized substrates and one-pot transformations.

The recent publications highlight a strong trend in developing efficient synthetic routes via one-pot cyclizations and formal [3+3] reactions, utilizing silyl enol ethers and phosphorus ylides. His research bridges fundamental organic reaction mechanisms with applications in heterocyclic and carbohydrate chemistry.
