Pericàs

Research group


Abstract

Over the last years, the Pericàs laboratory at ICIQ has been engaged in a broad research program aimed at developing a complete toolkit of polymer-supported and magnetic nanoparticle-immobilized catalysts with optimized characteristics of catalytic activity, high induced stereoselectivity and extended life cycle.

The ultimate goal of this research has been the development of single-pass, catalytic and enantioselective flow versions of the most relevant processes for organic synthesis, contributing in this manner to a more sustainable practice of chemical synthesis. Our laboratory at ICIQ has been pioneer in this effort, being recognized as one of the leaders in the field.

Topics addressed

    • Supported organocatalysts and flow processes
    • Visible light-mediated catalytic processes
    • Enantioselective homogeneous organo-catalysis
    • Metal-mediated catalysis
