Infos

In chemistry, good problem-solving requires a balanced combination of scientific intuition and
methodical analysis. Additionally, thoughtfully presented diagrams and infographics can convey
a large amount of complex information in a more intuitive and accessible manner. 100 Must-Know
Mechanisms (Second Edition) strives to be at the intersection of these two key principles. Its
thorough visualizations enable experienced readers to use it as a quick reference for specific
mechanisms of interest. At the same time, the book's breadth of covered reactions, from classic to
cutting-edge, make it a good study-aid for the developing chemist. A slow and consistent study of
the entire series of mechanisms can help set the foundation for good scientific intuition, while its
detailed infographics and careful navigation features encourage coming back to it frequently. This
edition includes over 40 new illustrations, numerous new mechanistic schemes, enhanced original
figures with a variety of real-case examples, and more

Dr. Valiulin obtained his dual B.S. and M.S. in Organic Chemistry at Lomonosov Moscow State
University - MSU (Russia, Moscow). MSU is one of the oldest established and most competitive
universities in the country. He then moved across the ocean to the United States where he earned
a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry at the University of Denver. Afterward, he completed two
postdoctoral fellowships, one with Professor K. C. Nicolaou at the Scripps Research Institute in
La Jolla, California, and another with Professor M. G. Finn at the Georgia Institute of Technology
in Atlanta, Georgia. His industrial career started in Boston, Massachusetts where he joined the
formulation development group in a medium-sized biopharmaceutical company. He gained
experience in drug development and early discovery with an emphasis on physical organic
chemistry, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), formulation development techniques, and
materials science before joining the medicinal chemistry group as a synthetic chemist. After six
years working in a biotech hub on the East Coast, he continues his career path as an organic chemist
in San Diego.
In the course of his career, he has published over twenty research and review articles and is a coinventor on numerous patents. As a Ph.D. scientist, he believes in staying engaged with the
learning community, and draws inspiration through teaching and by making visually-engaging and
educational chemistry infographics, which he shares on The ChemInfoGraphic Blog:

Dr. Valiulin's scientific research focuses on chemical synthesis and includes collaboration with
researchers who are driven by a passion to deliver novel chemical compounds that may help save
lives
