Catalysis for Stereoselective Synthesis

[Stereoselective Synthesis of Natural Products @Cat4SS]

👏 Enhorabona als estudiants de màster del grup per la gran feina realitzada al concurs MasterquímicaUB XXI!

Una excel·lent mostra de talent, rigor científic i compromís amb la divulgació. Perquè sempre és un bon moment per fer ciència i divulgar-la en català. 🔬🎉

[Stereoselective Synthesis of Natural Products @Cat4SS]

Huge congratulations to our newly graduated Dr. Mellado-Hidalgo! 🎓✨ Wishing him all the best in all his future endeavors!

Wishing Xenia a fantastic six-month research stay in Utah in the lab of Prof. Matthew Sigman (@Sigman_Lab )! 🇺🇸🧪👩‍🔬

We said goodbye with a group lunch — now she’s already working in her new lab. Good luck, Xenia (@xeniatarrach), and enjoy the science & adventure!

Hugo's time in Barcelona is up… 🇩🇪

To celebrate his semester here, we said goodbye the best way we could imagine: with a classic Group Bowling Event 🎳✨

Thanks for all the great moments. We are sure you have a very bright future ahead! 👋💛 #Erasmus #OrgChem #Enolate

Great to see Xavi (@Xavi_275) take part in the VIII Tesimarató de Química! 🔬✨
Science communication is just as essential as scientific discovery — sharing knowledge is how we inspire, connect, and move forward. Proud of this contribution to the community! #SciComm #Químicacat

We're also happy to welcome Marc (left) from Hannover and Hugo (right) from Köln as our Erasmus students for the Fall semester🍂🍂.

Auf geht's, Jungs! 🇩🇪🎓

[Stereoselective Synthesis of Natural Products @Cat4SS]

We’re excited to welcome Xavi (@Xavi_275) as our new PhD student!

Best of luck on this incredible journey you're beginning — we're thrilled to have you on board!

We are excited to also spotlight @ebalaguer10 and @Marina_PrezPlau's Search on Radical Transformations from Metal Enolates!🧑‍🔬

Herein, they demonstrate direct reactions of 𝑁-Acyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-ones with TEMPO, catalyzed by Cu(II).

Making the most of the Calçot season with a group lunch 😋!

[Stereoselective Synthesis of Natural Products @Cat4SS]

Last February we welcomed our 3 new Master students, @Xavi_275, @AnnaDomingo08 & @husang7 ! We wish you a very enjoyable stay in our lab!

[Secció de Química Orgànica-UB @Organica_UB]

Xavier Verdaguer steps aside as President of the Academic Committee of the PhD Program in Organic Chemistry and our colleague Anna Maria Costa takes the position from today. We thank Xavier for his commitment and hard work and we wish Anna Maria all the best with all our support.

Y para acabar la sesión de la mañana del tercer día, la charla invitada de Pedro Romea

[Stereoselective Synthesis of Natural Products @Cat4SS]

Extremely pleased to announce that our PhD student Miguel Mellado-Hidalgo has earned the 2nd prize for best poster on the Asymmetric Total Synthesis of Eliglustat and its C2 Epimer at @biqote24

[Stereoselective Synthesis of Natural Products @Cat4SS]

Today our PhD Students 🧪 had the pleasure of presenting their work at @biqote24 🌋. Kudos to Xènia, Miguel and Joan!
