The escalating demand for fuels and aromatic fine chemicals, alongside the persistent relianceon non-renewable resources, has driven the development of sustainable synthetic methodologiesutilizing renewable feedstocks. In this context, alcohols are readily available from biomass andcommercial sources and serve as highly valuable alkyl precursors for a wide range of synthetictransformation…
With the growing demand for cleaner synthetic protocols, electrosynthesis has emerged as a promising approach since, through the use of electricity, a renewable energy source, it enables chemical transformations that can be finely tuned by simple modifications, such as adjusting the current or changing the electrode material. Thus, this research project aims to develop new synthetic metho…
The efficient optimization of chemical reactions remains one of the major challenges in modern synthetic chemistry, especially when dealing with complex catalytic systems and substrates of low reactivity. In this context, Bayesian optimization (BO) has emerged as a data-driven strategy capable of accelerating experimental discovery by exploring large chemical spaces with a minimal number …

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) remain a major global health concern and have been identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a priority for eradication by 2030. These diseases predominantly affect tropical and subtropical regions and historically receive limited attention from the pharmaceutical industry. Among them, malaria remains one of the most life-threatening diseases,…
Nitrogen-containing aromatic compounds hold great importance across multiple areas of chemistry and industry, particularly in drug discovery, as over 84% of approved pharmaceuticals contain at least one nitrogen atom in their molecular scaffolds and around 60% feature nitrogen heterocycles. Thus, the sustainable synthesis of new nitrogenated heteroaromatic frameworks remains a central cha…
Chirality is a fundamental concept in various industries, especially in the pharmaceutical sector, where the demand for enantiomerically pure compounds has grown exponentially due to their importance in drug efficacy and safety.
