معرفی
Paul Floreancig is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh, affiliated with the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on organic synthesis, particularly developing novel oxidation-based reactions and cyclization strategies for complex molecule synthesis. Key areas include radical cation chemistry, nitrile functionalization, and natural product synthesis.
His lab emphasizes innovative methodologies like hydride abstraction reactions, rhenium oxide (Re₂O₇) catalysis, and boron-based prodrug systems. Notable contributions include the total synthesis of natural products like divergolides and bistramide A, as well as the design of bioactive molecules with applications in drug delivery.
