Dennis P. Curran is one of the most popular and richest Chemist who was born on June 10, 1953 in Easton, Pennsylvania, United States.
Curran also revitalized atom transfer radical reactions. These reactions are also called Kharasch addition reactions (or sometimes Curran-Kharasch reactions). Morris S. Kharasch discovered and pioneered halogen atom transfer addition reactions in an initial flowering period in the late 1940s and 1950s. About 40 years later, Curran described fast new reactions involving iodine transfer, bromine transfer and functional group transfer, and encompassing radical addition (ATRA), cyclization (ATRC) and annulation. He introduced sunlamps as convenient tools for photo-initiation of ATRA and ATRC reactions. Curran is also a pioneer in stereoselective radical reactions and radical translocation reactions.
Dennis P. Curran (born June 10, 1953) is an American organic chemist and a professor of chemistry at University of Pittsburgh known for his research in the fields of organic chemistry, radical chemistry, and fluorous chemistry.

Curran has also pioneered many aspects of the relatively young field of fluorous chemistry. Expanding on the initial 1995 concept of fluorous biphasic catalysis, he introduced the concepts of fluorous tagging and fluorous synthesis in 1997 under the new guise of strategy level separations. Curran introduced light fluorous reactions, fluorous triphasic reactions, fluorous phase vanishing reactions (with Ilhyong Ryu) and fluorous mixture synthesis (or FMS). FMS is the first example of solution phase synthesis with separation tagging, and it has been used to make many analogs and stereoisomers of complex natural products. The techniques of FMS allow 4–16 analogs or isomers to be made in a single synthesis. Curran also introduced fluorous solid phase extraction, a simple separation technique that enabled much subsequent work. The high resolution version of the technique, fluorous chromatography, is the basis of FMS.
