Research Activities

The research activity can be arranged in two main lines: i) synthesis of chromatographic supports for molecular recognition studies and ii) study of stability/instability of bioactive compounds mainly enantiomers. The first line focuses in the field of separation science and includes as corollary some studies of advanced methodologies in the analysis of chiral and bioactive molecules. The second line is related to stereochemistry and focused in the stability of atropoisomers. From last years, as consequence of interaction or fusion of two research lines, the research has been also dedicated to development of supported organocatalysts for heterogeneous batch and flow catalysis.
Fields of interest:
- synthesis of chromatographic supports for HPLC and UHPLC in order to investigate their recognition properties towards molecules of biological and pharmaceutical interest. (chiral brush-type and receptor-like selectors)
- study of stereochemical stability of bioactive compounds as potential new drugs or organocatalysts in asymmetric synthesis by HPLC and NMR. (off-column method, dynamic HPLC and dynamic NMR)
- development of solid supported catalyst based on silica or polymethacrylate media. (chiral amine as catalysts)
