Jerome Waser

Jerome Waser is a researcher at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, specializing in Organic Chemistry, Catalysis, and Peptides/Proteins. His work focuses on developing catalytic methods for the synthesis of complex organic molecules, particularly through the use of metal-catalyzed reactions. He has published extensively on hydrazine and azide formation, enantioselective ring-opening reactions, and alkynylation strategies. His research also explores hypervalent iodine reagents and their applications in atom-transfer reactions, as well as gold- and cobalt-catalyzed processes for the synthesis of heterocycles and peptides. His contributions highlight the importance of catalytic efficiency and selectivity in organic synthesis.
