The Real Sociedad Española de Química has given the 2010 Research Award to Prof. Antonio M. Echavarren, and the Young Researchers Award to Dr. Rubén Martín.The research carried out by Prof. Echavarren centers on the development of new reactions based on the use of transition metal complexes as catalysts, and in the application of these reactions for the synthesis of complex, biologically active natural products.The major goal of Dr. Martín is to provide solutions to relevant and challenging synthetic problems, mainly focused on the metal-catalyzed, selective activation of relatively inert entities of great significance, such as CO2, C-H bonds, C-C bonds and C-O bonds. | |
