Jonathan Clayden

Jonathan Clayden (1968–) is an organic chemist.

In 1992 he obtained his PhD at the University of Cambridge working with Dr Stuart Warren on asymmetric synthesis using phosphine oxide chemistry. He then carried out a postdoc with Prof 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.

He is known for being one of the authors of the popular organic chemistry textbook - Organic Chemistry by Clayden, Greeves, Warren & Wothers. As well as writing Organolithiums: Selectivity for Synthesis, which concerns the use of organolithium compounds to obtain the correct chemo and stereoselectivity in reaction.

He has won many awards including:
* Royal Society of Chemistry's Stereochemistry Prize
* Royal Society of Chemistry's Corday-Morgan Medal
