Research Interest

Medicinal and Pharmaceutical chemistry, sequence reactions catalyzed by transition metals, in particular palladium; catalytic reactions of aromatic functionalization (alkylation and arylation); intramolecular activation reactions of aromatic and benzyl CH bonds; highly chemically and regio-selective synthesis, under mild conditions and low environmental impact; - synthesis and study of reactivity of palladium complexes in stoichiometric reactions; characterization of palladium-based complexes via NMR and monitoring of reaction intermediates via NMR and ESI-MS.
