Stereoselctive synthesis of organic compounds via asymmetric organocatalysis and domino/one-pot reactions Line of research Application of small optically pure organic molecules, synthetic or from chiral pool, as homogeneous/heterogeneous catalysts in the stereoselective synthesis of organic compounds, mainly heterocycles, with potential applications in pharmaceutical chemistry, health or other fields. Particular focus is addressed to the optimization of multi-step processes carried out in the same reaction flask, employing domino/one-pot reactions. These procedures simplify remarkably the synthetic methodologies, reducing the number of intermediate and decreasing environmental impact and synthetic costs Staff Supervisor: Fabrizio VeticaDepartment staff: Francesca LeonelliVyali Georgian Moldoveanu Publications Combining Organocatalysis and Lanthanide Catalysis: A Sequential One-Pot Quadrupole Domino/Diels-Alder Asymmetric Synthesis of Functionalized TricyclesDesymmetrization of Cyclopentendiones via Organocatalytic Cross-Dehydrogenative CouplingStep Economy in the Stereoselective Synthesis of Functionalized Oxindoles via Organocatalytic Domino/One-pot ReactionsAsymmetric organocatalytic synthesis of tetrahydropyrans and their application in total synthesisRecent Advances in Organocatalytic Cascade Reactions toward the Formation of Quaternary StereocentersAsymmetric organocatalytic synthesis of 4-amino-isochromanones via a direct one-pot intramolecular Mannich reactionN-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyzed Domino Reactions via Two or More Activation ModesStereoselective Synthesis of Spiro-Decalin Oxindole Derivatives via Sequential Organocatalytic Michael–Domino Michael/Aldol ReactionElectrochemical Bottom-Up Synthesis of Chiral Carbon Dots from L-Proline and Their Application as Nano-Organocatalysts in a Stereoselective Aldol Reaction Collaborations International collaborations: Prof. Kari Rissanen, Department of Chemistry, University of Jyväskylä, Finland Theme and ERC Theme: Sustainable chemistryERC: PE4_12 Chemical reactions: mechanisms, dynamics, kinetics and catalytic reactionsPE5_13 Homogeneous catalysisPE5_17 Organic chemistry Traineeship offer Area di ricerca: Organic chemistryCourse of study (advised): Chemistry
