Christian Stanetty

Christian’s main research interest is focused on transferring modern organic synthesis (preferably organocatalytic methodology), and up-to-date instrumentation (Flow Chemistry) into the challenging setting of carbohydrate chemistry. In his current projects, the interconversion of monosaccharides is in the centre of attention, addressing the natural reactivity of sugars carbonyl moiety (in the open chain form). All activities are aiming at the development of general solutions and possibly scalable methodology. Ideally these approaches open more efficient avenues to currently rare or exotic sugars in order to expand the base of compounds which can serve as valuable chiral starting materials.
