Abstract:

Organic synthesis, that is the synthesis of organic compounds remains one of the most important branches of organic chemistry. Nowadays, it is being developed either independently in search for new methodologies and applications or in collaboration with other research fields such as catalysis, materials science, or medicinal chemistry. This seminar will present my personal account on the application of organic synthesis for the development of new enantioselective organocatalytic methodologies, the construction of novel porous materials, and the synthesis of mechanistic probes for testing the outcomes of DNA minor-groove alkylation.
