Arlene G. Corrêa earned her M.Sc. in Chemistry in 1988 under the supervision of Professor Ursula Brocksom, and her Ph.D. in 1991 with Professor Timothy J. Brocksom, both at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), Brazil. Between 1988 and 1990, she completed a research internship in the group of Professor Andrew E. Greene at the University of Grenoble Alpes, France. In 1996, she joined the group of Professor Paul A. Wender at Stanford University, USA, as a visiting scholar. She is currently a Full Professor in the Department of Chemistry at UFSCar. Her research in medicinal chemistry focuses on the synthesis of bioactive natural products and their analogs, employing combinatorial technologies and principles of green chemistry. Her work targets potential treatments for tropical diseases. In addition, her group has made significant contributions to chemical ecology, particularly in the isolation, identification, and synthesis of insect pheromones. Professor Corrêa is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), and a member of the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the Brazilian Chemical Society (SBQ). She also serves as Director of the Centre of Excellence for Research in Sustainable Chemistry (CERSusChem). In recognition of her contributions to organic synthesis and the advancement of women in science, she received the Brazilian Meeting on Organic Synthesis (BMOS) Award in 2024 and the ACS-SBQ Brazilian Women in Chemistry Award in 2025.

The Centre of Excellence for Research in Sustainable Chemistry (CERSusChem) was established in 2016 by the FAPESP Engineering Research Centers Program (CPE) and was co-financed by the pharmaceutical industry GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). The CERSusChem activities are based on the 3 pillars: research, innovation, and knowledge dissemination. Continuing our efforts in the development of new sustai…
The purchase of this equipment will be of pivotal importance to all members of the CERSusChem to fulfill their basic needs of research, as the proposal aims the preparation, separation and identification of enantiomerically pure or chiral enriched substances. Therefore, we plan to use the ultra-performance liquid chromatography as analytical tool. This new technology provides both high sp…
The Centre of Excellence for Research in Sustainable Chemistry (CERSusChem) is an initiative of researchers at the Chemistry Department of the Federal University of São Carlos, aiming to promote the development and implementation of green and sustainable chemistry and related technologies. The Centre, is formed by 18 faculty members of 5 different Public Universities (UFSCar UNICAMP, USP-…
Quinoxalines are a class of heterocyclic compounds that have been intensively studied for their biological activities, showing promising activity against protozoa, in an ongoing study towards the discovery of new antiparasitic compounds, we have synthesized a library of quinoxaline derivatives, which has been evaluated in vitro against epimastigote, promastigote, and trypomastigote forms …

O trabalho a ser desenvolvido consiste no apoio ao planejamento, execução e avaliação das seguintes atividades: 1- visitas diagnósticas às escolas da rede pública de São Carlos-SP abrangidas pelo projeto e reuniões periódicas com os professores e coordenadores no intuito de conhecer a realidade escolar; 2- levantamento dos conteúdos que estão sendo trabalhados e as áreas de interesse a se…
1,3,4-Oxadiazoles have shown several biological activities, such as anti-HIV, antihypertensive and antimicrobial. Thus, the development of new methods for the synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles has been the focus of several research groups. Although different reaction conditions are described, in the vast majority of cases, hydrazide derivatives are used as starting material. The objectives o…

With the resurgence of organic photochemistry, mainly due to the new applications of visible-light photocatalysis, there has been a growing interest in the development of new methodologies for photocatalyzed or photochemical formal cycloadditions, which are efficient in synthesizing fully saturated cyclic compounds. The search for new saturated bicyclic structures has been on the rise for…
Aminonitriles are important intermediates in organic synthesis, since this structure can be used as a building block on the synthesis of several heterocyclic compounds. The versatile reactivity of these structures is due to the presence of an acidic hydrogen in the ±-position of amino and cyano groups. The most common form of employing these intermediates is through reaction of the ±-amin…
Visible light represents a safe, efficient and sustainable source of energy. Over the last decade, a major focus in visible light-mediated catalysis was on the access of highly reactive open shell species that are otherwise difficult or impossible to obtain by traditional chemical catalysis. Progress in the understanding of mechanisms and the properties of the photogenerated reactive inte…
