A day of mixing feelings…
A bit sad because it is the last day of Javi in the lab (but maybe he’ll come back soon!)… … and very happy because Isaac found a 70% ee in his reaction! Congratulations!
Enhancing the activity of a squaramide as organocatalyst through the novel concept of trifunctionality
It is well known the lower activity of organocatalysts as compared to most metal catalysts. As a result, developing new and more potent organocatalysts focuses a great deal of interest both for science and chemical industry. Herein, we present our … Continue reading

Enjoy reading about one of our favourite molecular structure: AMINOINDANOL
Our most recent review paper has just come out off the press. It has been published as open access in Beilstein J. Org. Chem. In this paper, by gathering relevant and illustrative examples, we show the ability of conferring bifunctionality … Continue reading
HOCA-guys spent a few days in Barcelona, in the “XII Symposium of young researchers” (XII SIJ, RSEQ-Sigma Aldrich)
The last edition of the “Simposio de Investigadores Jóvenes, RSEQ-Sigma Aldrich” (XII SIJ) has been held in Barcelona from 3-6 November, and our group has been well represented by Fernando, Juanvi and Isaac. They presented their research work and enjoyed … Continue reading
HOCA to publish a New Synthesis of Chiral 2-Oxospiro-[indole-3,4′- (1′,4′-dihydropyridines)]
We are interested in the enantioselective synthesis of highly functionalized molecules with biological activity. In this frame, we have just published “a preliminary study” in the development of a “New Organocatalytic Asymmetric Synthesis of Highly Substituted Chiral 2-Oxo Spiro-[indole-3,4′- (1′,4′-dihydropyridine)] … Continue reading
