GENERAL OBJECTIVES

• Synthesis of products of advanced purity with low metal content suitable for pharmaceutical applications.
• Promoting “green chemistry” by minimizing trace impurities of toxic metals released into the environment as result of the improved activity of the catalytic systems and of work-up protocols.
• Lowering pollution by use of more chemoselective catalysts that afford less undesired side-products in metathetic reactions.
• To create atom-economical, metathesis-based, chemical processes in order to save energy.
• Establishing safe, flexible and effective procedures easily to be scaled-up in pilot and industrial production.
