Introduction
We are a research group active in the fields of Catalysis and Synthetic Organic Chemistry at the Center for Research in Biological Chemistry and Materials (CIQUS) at the University of Santiago de Compostela.
Our research interests focus on the development of atom-efficient and sustainabled reactions and asymmetric transformations. Concepts such as bimetallic catalysis, enantioselective synthesis and alkane functionalization are currently being explored in our lab.

A long story comes to an excellent end. Our method to switch selectivity in the borylative allyl-allyl cross-coupling via synergistic Cu/Pd catalysis has been published in JACS. A great collaborative effort comprising experimental work Nuria Vázquez-Galiñanes, Balázs L. Tóth and Martín Piñeiro-Suárez, and DFT calculations by Giuseppe Sciortino and Feliu Maseras (ICIQ). Congratulations to all!
