Jonathan Paul Clayden (born 1968) is a Professor of organic chemistry at the University of Bristol.
Education
In 1992 he obtained his PhD[1] at the University of Cambridge working with Stuart Warren on asymmetric synthesis using phosphine oxide chemistry. He then carried out a postdoc with Marc Julia and in 1994 became a lecturer in organic chemistry at the University of Manchester where he has remained, becoming a reader in 2000 and a Professor of Organic Chemistry in 2001.
Research
He is known for being one of the authors of the popular organic chemistry textbook - Organic Chemistry by Clayden, Greeves, Warren & Wothers,[2] in addition to writing Organolithiums: Selectivity for Synthesis, which concerns the use of organolithium compounds to obtain the correct chemo- and stereoselectivity in reaction.
From 2005 to 2011 he was editor-in-chief of the Open Access Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry.
