Work
Seebach worked on dendrimer chemistry and on the synthesis of beta-peptides. The development of the umpolung, a polarity inversion of the carbonyl group, with 1,3-propanedithiol together with Corey had a big influence on organic synthesis, and subsequently the Corey-Seebach reaction was named after them.
The Fráter–Seebach alkylation, a diastereoselective reaction of beta-hydroxy esters, is named after him.
