Organo Catalysis Using Bronsted Acids

Jerome Blanchet graduated from the Rouen University Institute of Technology in 1994 and Ecole Nationale Superieure de Chimie de Clermont-Ferrand in 1997 resepctively. He received his PhD in organic chemistry in 2001. In 2014, he received the accreditation to supervise research at the University of Caen Basse-Normandie. Since 2004 he has worked as a Researcher at CNRS' Molecular Chemistry Laboratory Thioorganic. After being a lecturer at the University of Caen Basse-Normandie for eight years, Jacques Rouden is, since February 2005, organic chemistry professor at the Ecole nationale superieure d'ingenieurs de Caen (ENSICAEN). Within this school, he performed his research in molecular chemistry laboratory and Thio-organic (UMR CNRS 6507).

Within this school, he performed his research in molecular chemistry laboratory and Thio-organic (UMR CNRS 6507). His research focuses on the development of eco-compatible asymmetrical methods catalyzed by chiral organic molecules - or organocatalysis - for the production of molecular bricks used in synthesis of biologically active molecules or for medical imaging.
