Uwe Schneider

Dr Uwe Schneider is a Lecturer in Organic Chemistry at The University of Edinburgh, Department of Chemistry. His research focuses on 'Green/Sustainable' Chemistry, (Asymmetric) Catalysis, C-H & C-C Bond Activation, and Low-Oxidation State Main Group Chemistry. His work explores base, acid, dual, ambiphilic, and FLP catalysis, as well as transition metal-like redox catalysis using non-metal and main group metal species in low-oxidation states. Dr Schneider's research includes transition metal-free bond cleavage and small molecule activation. His publications cover topics such as catalytic asymmetric reactions, C-H bond activation, and the development of novel catalytic systems.

Uwe Schneider is a researcher at the University of Edinburgh, specializing in Organic Chemistry and (Asymmetric) Catalysis. His work focuses on developing catalytic methods for asymmetric reactions, particularly in the synthesis of optically active compounds. Schneider's research includes the use of transition metals such as indium, gallium, and sodium amide to facilitate carbon-carbon bond formation and allylation reactions. His studies explore the reactivity and selectivity of allylboronates in aqueous media and the development of general catalytic allylation protocols. His contributions highlight the importance of low-oxidation state catalysts in achieving high configurational and diastereoselectivity in organic transformations.
