Research

Synthetic organic chemistry is a fundamental science and technology to create materials, drugs, and any other organic compounds which bring a better life. A key for the progress in this research field is the development of new synthetic methods for making use of highly reactive chemical species for the synthesis of useful molecules. To address this mission, our research group focuses on the rational design of unprecedented catalysts and reagents that lead to the establishment of groundbreaking new methodologies.
