Development of new chiral catalysts. Design and synthesis of new chiral ligands capable of forming complexes with metal ions useful as chiral catalysts (Lewis acids). Design and synthesis of new chiral organic catalysts by proton transfer, hydrogen bridge formation or phase transfer.
Development of new methodologies for C-C bond formation by asymmetric catalysis. Use of chiral catalysts (metal complexes and organocatalysts) in new reactions of interest in organic synthesis in which C-C bonds and stereogenic centres are generated simultaneously. Synthesis of chiral building blocks.
Enantioselective synthesis of compounds of biological and pharmacological interest. Enantioselective synthesis of compounds with known or potential biological or pharmacological activity by chemical transformation of chiral products obtained by asymmetric catalysis.
