Honorary Doctorate from the FUB for R. Huisgen

摘要

The Free University of Berlin (FUB) has presented Rolf Huisgen (Ludwig Maximilians University Munich, LMU) with an honorary doctorate for his successful decades-long research in organic synthesis, in particular 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions,M which are currently undergoing an unprecedented renaissance as the "click chemistry" concept introduced by K. B. Sharpless. At the award ceremony, Huisgen gave a lecture on one- and two-step cycloadditions, and his former student X Mulzer spoke on selected aspects of the total synthesis of natural products.
