Project involves:
New widely applicable methodologies are needed to easily prepare catalysts encompassing the requirements of Green Chemistry. Our aim is to design, synthesize and test new efficient transition metal catalysts, namely for asymmetric (and non-asymmetric) synthesis of chiral sulfoxides, epoxidations, halogenations, aminations and allylic hydroxylations, allowing the use of greener oxidants (mainly H2O2 and O2) and DEVELOP AN UNIFIED AND MORE PRACTICAL METHODOLOGY TO PREPARE RECYCLABLE CATALYSTS.
