Abstract
The major focus of our research efforts are in the “OMCOS” (organometallic chemistry directed towards organic synthesis) area mainly on gold catalysis, with a focus on the discovery of new catalytic transformations, the understanding of their mechanisms, and the application of these catalytic reactions for the synthesis of biologically active natural products and polyarenes of importance in material science.
Topics addressed
- New gold-catalyzed reactions for the activation of alkynes
- Synthesis of biologically active natural products
- New strategies for the synthesis of polyarenes
