Description
SUMMARY Organic synthesis chemist with extensive, varied laboratory experience. Acknowledged expertise in medicinal, organic, and early process development chemistry. Core competencies: Synthesis Skills: * Design and execution of multistep synthesis of bio-active compounds, milligram to multi-gram "one-off" compounds and high throughput small libraries. regio- and stereo-selective/specific syntheses. * Hands-on experience conducting all classes of organic reactions ("classical" to "cutting edge") and all typles of chemical targets. * Retrosynthetic analysis and use of databases for chemical reaction and molecule searching. Process Development Skills: * Alternate method development (route scouting), yield/process improvements, and scale-ups. * Managing CRO interactions (U.S. and offshore based). Analytical/Purification * Proficient in all important analytical techniques (NMR, LC, GC, IR,
