Description:
The research team of laboratories 501 and 502 deals with diverse up-to-date topics in the field of stereoselective synthesis and catalysis.
Projects:
Our current research activity is supported by national research agencies (APVV, VEGA) and focuses on Cu-based catalytic transformations, crystallization-induced asymmetric transformation of amino acids, preparation and application of 4,5-unsubstituted 2,3-dihydroisoxazoles as suitable building blocks in stereoselective synthesis of natural compounds.
