RESEARCH INTEREST
Prof. Giuseppe Zanoni works in the field of natural organic compounds, organometallic chemistry, asymmetric
synthesis and asymmetric catalysis. In this context, he developed the first known example of catalytic asymmetric
addition to aldehydes of -allyl-Palladium-complexes via umpolung (Angew. Chem, Int. Ed., 2004, 846). Scientific
interests were expanded to phosphorous, gold and silver chemistry, NHC mediated asymmetric reaction and C-H
activation processes. Precision medicine (BNCT) and novel PET probes, were also fields of interest. Prof. Zanoni has
been also consultant of several companies operating in the field of synthetic organic chemistry. Noteworthy, PA
