Asymmetric tandem reactions. The combination of several organocatalytic processes or, alternatively, an organocatalytic process with an intramolecular dipolar cycloaddition, with the aim of generating new enantiomerically enriched skeletons is one of the group's lines of action.
The research line covers all stages involved in the development of an immunoassay, design and synthesis of target analyte analogues (haptens), preparation of immunisation and assay conjugates, production of antibodies, development and validation of the immunoassay.
Tandem reactions have been the subject of study in recent years in our working group. In this line, new tandem processes are being designed, both with the use of sulfoxides as chiral auxiliaries and the use of organocatalysis, which allow access to new chemical structures.
The research line focuses on the optimisation of the synthesis of agrichemicals of the type of pheromones and parapheromones for their industrial scale-up and their application in the control of agricultural pests.
