Abstract
Our past and current objectives encompass the design and development of efficient catalytic enantioselective methodologies and their application to the preparation of targets of biological relevance. Designing modular catalysts with versatile synthetic procedures, and performing computational analyses of the catalytic event, are key elements in our strategy.
Two main objectives have been pursued within the group: In the first instance, we have aimed to develop highly modular enantiopure P–OP ligands for asymmetric organometallic catalytic synthesis. Secondly, we have aimed to devise strategies to generate a set of supramolecular enantiopure ligands, which resemble a privileged structure yet at the same time offer a range of closely related geometrically active sites.
Topics addressed
- Supramolecularly regulated asymmetric catalysts.
- Highly modular P-OP ligands.
- Catalysis of industrial targets
