Biography
Dr. Andrei Yudin, working at Department of Chemistry Library, Canada
Research Interest
The Yudin group is well known for the development of new tools for chemical synthesis. In recent years, Yudin and his students have pioneered the chemistry of molecules that contain reactive, and usually incompatible, functional groups. This concept of “forced orthogonality” has enabled his lab to develop entirely new synthetic processes based on unprotected aziridine aldehydes (now commercially available through Sigma-Aldrich). These advances have been extensively published in the scientific literature and have been covered by the Chemical and Engineering News and worldwide ACS Webinars
