Main research topics

1) Design and development of new synthetic methodologies, particularly oxidative, for the preparation of compounds of industrial interest reaction with biological activities and pharmacological properties (antioxidant, anticancer)

2) Use of low molecular weight phenolic compounds present in agro-industrial wastes as starting materials for the production of fine chemical products (biorefinery)

3) Use of chemicals (reagents, solvents) with low environmental impact

4) Organometallic catalysts and nanocatalysts: preparation and their applications in organic synthesis

5) Use of enzymatic systems for selective oxidation of organic compounds
