Gold(I)-Catalyzed Reactions of 1-(ortho-Alkynylaryl)ureas: Highly Selective Heterocyclization and Synthesis of MixedN,O-Acetals
2014
Treatment of alkynylureas (I) with trifluoroethanol in the presence of a Au/Ag catalytic system provides N-6-exo-dig heterocyclization products (III) and in some cases open chain acetals as side products.

ChemInform Abstract: Enantioselective Mannich Reaction of β-Keto Esters with Aromatic and Aliphatic Imines Using a Cooperatively Assisted Bifunctiona…
2015
The title reaction tolerates aliphatic and aromatic substituents on both reaction partners, affording products (III) as a mixture of inseparable diastereomers with low or without any diastereoselectivity.
Organocatalytic asymmetric addition of naphthols and electron-rich phenols to isatin-derived ketimines: highly enantioselective construction of tetra…
2015
A quinine-derived thiourea organocatalyst promoted the highly enantioselective addition of naphthols and activated phenols to ketimines derived from isatins. The reaction afforded chiral 3-amino-2-oxindoles with a quaternary stereocenter in high yields (up to 99%) with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee). To the best of our knowledge, this transformation is the first highly enantioselective addition of naphthols to ketimines
Asymmetric Synthesis of Dihydropyranones with Three Contiguous Stereocenters by an NHC‐Catalyzed Kinetic Resolution
2021
An oxidative NHC-catalyzed kinetic resolution (KR) of racemic mixtures is presented. The developed reaction furnishes tricyclic dihydropyranones with three contiguous stereocenters in excellent dia- and enantioselectivity, with good-to-moderate yields. Mechanistic studies indicate that the rate-determining step of the reaction is the formation of the Breslow intermediate, while the selectivity determining step occurs later in the mechanism. The presented methodology enables rapid synthesis of complex structures in a single step.

Catalysis in Supramolecular Systems: the Case of Gel Phases
2021
Supramolecular gels are a fascinating class of materials, originated by the self-assembly of low molecular weight molecules. Underpinned by non-covalent interactions, they find application in a diverse range of fields. Among these, supramolecular gels can be considered as organized, non-conventional reaction media, able to influence reactivity in a radically different way, compared with what happens in solution. This short review will focus on this aspect, covering literature from 2010 onwards, addressing the application of supramolecular gels as reaction media. In particular, in the first section we explore organocatalytic reactions in gel phase, with wide synthetic relevance, such as aldo…
