Professor Bencivenni’s research focuses on the development of innovative catalytic methods for asymmetric organic synthesis, with particular emphasis on asymmetric organocatalysis and visible-light photocatalysis.
Main research interests are:
- the discovery of novel organocatalytic atroposelective transformations, enabling the stereoselective synthesis of axially chiral compounds through the design of highly efficient catalytic systems and reaction manifolds.
- development of photocatalytic strategies for the stereoselective construction of structurally complex molecular architectures combining photochemical activation with asymmetric catalysis to establish sustainable and efficient synthetic methodologies with broad applications in modern organic synthesis.
