Research abstract
Our research group works in the “OMCOS”(organometallic chemistry directed towards organic synthesis)arena, with a focus on the discovery of new catalytic transformations and the understanding of their mechanisms.In the last few years, we have developed new gold catalyzed reactions for the activation of alkynes. Some of these new reactions have been applied for the synthesis of complex, biologically active natural products. We are also interested in the synthesis of nanographenes and other related molecules of importance in material science.
Topics addressed
- New gold reactions for the activation of alkynes
- Synthesis of biologically active natural products
