About the winner - Bruce Lipshutz


Bruce Lipshutz has been at UC Santa Barbara since 1979. Much of his career has been focused on developing new reagents and technologies that have broad appeal in the synthetic community, many of which are now, or will soon be, commercially available. The group’s efforts have, in part, shifted with an emphasis on “green chemistry”.

As winner of the EROS Best Reagent Award 2012, Bruce Lipshutz receives a $10,000 cheque and will present a plenary lecture at Wayne State University, Detroit, USA in Autumn 2012.

Previous Winning Reagents

2011 Winning Reagent - Lithium Dichloro(1-methylethyl)-magnesate

Aldrich Catalog: 656984; CAS: 807329-97-1

Discovered in 2004, the reagent is also known under the names Isopropylmagnesium Chloride–Lithium Chloride complex or Turbo-Grignard™. Since then it has found a wide range of elegant applications in laboratory syntheses and has been up-scaled for industrial processes. The article on the Award winning reagent by Paul Knochel and Andrei Gavryushin was published in EROS in October 2010.

Paul Knochel, the winner of the EROS Best Reagent Award 2011, interests include the development of novel organometallic reagents and methods for use in organic synthesis, asymmetric catalysis and natural product synthesis.
