Abstract
Our past and current objectives encompass the design and development of efficient catalytic enantioselective methodologies and their application to the preparation of targets of biological, pharmacological and agrochemical relevance. Designing modular catalysts and versatile synthetic procedures for their preparation, and performing computational analyses of the catalytic event, are key elements in our strategy.
Two main objectives are pursued within the group: In the first instance, we aim to develop, using versatile covalent chemistry, highly modular enantiopure P–OP ligands for asymmetric organometallic catalytic synthesis. Secondly, we aim to devise strategies to generate a set of supramolecular chiral ligands which resemble a privileged structure yet at the same time offer a range of closely related geometrically active sites.
Topics addressed
- Development of smart catalytic systems
- Superparamagnetic nanoparticles
