Eric, Pedro and Henrique will work on the development of desconstructive aromatization processes using spirobenzothiazolines. Jozsef will investigate the use of indolizines as antenna ligands.

This funding will support the activities of my laboratory — the Photocatalysis and Organic Synthesis Lab (PHOTOSYN) — at the Institute of Chemistry – University of Sao Paulo, for the next five years.

On 27-11. Prof. Tiago gave a seminar entitled “Síntese e funcionalização de heterocíclos empregando organocatálise e fotocatálise: minha tragetória até o IQ-USP e os novos desafios a serem explorados” as part of the course “Advanced Topics in Chemistry (I-III)”. Part of this material is available on seminars session    

Marina Guerra is the first undergraduate student to join the group! She will work on the development of new photoinduced protocols using benzothiazolines as radical precursors
