Mizoroki-Heck Reaction

Martin Oestreich (born in 1971 in Pforzheim/Germany) is currently Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Technische Universität Berlin. He received his diploma degree with Paul Knochel (Marburg, 1996) and his doctoral degree with Dieter Hoppe (Münster, 1999). After a two-year postdoctoral stint with Larry E. Overman (Irvine, 1999-2001), he completed his habilitation with Reinhard Brückner (Freiburg, 2001-2005) and was appointed as Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster (2006-2011). He also held visiting positions at Cardiff University in Wales (2005) and at The Australian National University in Canberra (2010).

"It is by far the most authoritative book in this area written to date and has employed many of the major contributors in the area over recent years to provide chapters, resulting in good...coverage of the literature." (Applied Organimetallic Chemistry , March 2010) “I am convinced that this book will rapidly become the most important reference text for research chemists in academia and industry who seek orientation in the rapidly growing and – for the layman – confusing field described as the “’Mizoroki–Heck reaction’.” (Synthesis, March 2010) "This book is a welcome addition to the subject and provides almost all the areas you would want to be covered." (Organic Process Research & Development Journal, 2010)"The selection and clear arrangement of the competently written chapters of this book is well done, giving a rapid general overview of current knowledge about various aspects of this important reaction." (Angewandte Chemie December 2009)
