Karl Dieter
Professor
Organic Chemistry
Clemson University
United States of America
Biography
Dr. Dieter, professor, received his B.A. (1973) from Lehigh University and his Ph.D. (1978) from the University of Pennsylvania working in synthesis, synthetic methods, and photochemistry with Prof. Amos B. Smith III. He was an American Chemical Society Postdoctoral Fellow (1978-1979) with Prof. Jerrold Meinwald at Cornell in natural products chemistry. He served on the faculty at Boston University before joining Clemson in 1985.
Research Interest
Dr. Dieter's research in new synthetic methods involves organocopper, organopalladium and organosulfur chemistry and focuses on asymmetric synthesis. The general availability of enantioselective procedures remains one of the major problems in organic chemistry and is particularly important to the pharmaceutical industry.
