Amir H. Hoveyda
Amir H. Hoveyda is an American organic chemist and professor of chemistry at Boston College, and held the position of department chair until 2018. In 2019, he embarked as researcher at the Institute of Science and Supramolecular Engineering at University of Strasbourg. Hoveyda received his Ph.D. from Yale University (advisor: Stuart Schreiber) in 1986, and worked as postdoctoral fellow in David A. Evans lab at Harvard University. He received the Cope Scholar award from the American Chemical Society in 1998. Hoveyda's research focuses on the development for chemoselective and stereoselective catalysis, in particular function-oriented catalyst design. He is particularly noted for his work on developing catalysts for stereoselective olefin metathesis, such as the Hoveyda–Grubbs catalyst. In recent years he has worked extensively on copper(I)-N-heterocyclic carbenes A persistent carbene (also known as stable carbene) is a type of carbene demonstrating particular stability. The be ...

A, or a, is the first letter and the first vowel of the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide.
