Interests:
- Theoretical and Synthetic Organic Chemistry
- Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds
- Rape Oil Technology
Main research:
- Various N-, O-, S-heterocyclic compounds on basis of
1,3-dicarbonyl compounds have been synthesised and investigated. Many of them have
indicated biological activity. Over 600 publications on theoretical and synthetic research
in chemistry of heterocyclic and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds have been published.
- Multinuclear (1H, 13C, 14N,
17O), IS, UV, X-ray of 1,3-di-, 2-acyl-, 2-aminomethylen-1,3-diketones,
stabilised with the intermolecular hydrogen bond have been investigated.
- Recent scientific work has been connected with
investigation of rape oil and other lipids, development and testing of physical and
chemical techniques for separation and refining of rape oil in Latvia.
- Early studies have been concerned with the condensation of
nucleophilic CH-acid compounds, like malononitrile, with 1,3-indandione and
1,3-cyclohexanediones in the presence of basis.
- Future plans involve investigation of new synthetic methods
and properties of oxazolono[5,4-b]- and imidazo[1,2-a] pyridines;
investigation of oilseed cultivated in Latvia.
