Description

Asymmetric synthesis of enantioselectively pure natural and non-natural nitrogenous derivatives. Synthesis of chiral catalysts derived from amino alcohols. Enantioselective supported catalysts. Study and development of fine chemistry synthetic methods applying homogeneous catalysis and organocatalysis. This way, from two complementary approaches, the complex problems posed by controlled preparation and modification of fragile molecules (usually chiral ones) are addressed. This research line studies and develops the chemical tools needed to obtain pure and pharmacologically active enantiomers. This technology can also be applied in the fragance and pesticide industries. We have developed methods for enantioselective supported catalysts preparation on synthetic (derived from polystyrene) or natural (chitin and chitin-based substances) polymers that are effective and easy-to-recover and studied its use in flow chemistry
