Martín
Research group
Abstract
The major goal in the Martin group is to provide solutions to relevant and challenging synthetic problems from the scientific and industrial standpoint, without losing sight its environmental impact. In order to meet these challenges, the group is mainly focused on the metal-catalyzed, selective activation of relatively inert entities of great significance, such as CO2, C-H bonds, C-C bonds and C-O bonds, as these motifs rank amongst the most widespread and fundamental linkages in organic chemistry. We are also interesting on the design and implementation of metal-catalyzed domino reactions since a high degree of molecular complexity can be achieved in a one-step, hence allowing a rapid access to key backbones occurring in many natural products.
Topics addressed
- Ni-catalyzed CO2 Activation
- Photoredox catalysis
- Ni-catalyzed Functionalization of C-O Bonds
