Igor Dias Jurberg

Dr. Igor Dias Jurberg is a Researcher at the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ), operating under Rovira i Virgili University. He contributes to Prof. Paolo Melchiorre's research group, focusing on innovative synthetic methodologies in organic chemistry and catalysis.

His expertise spans Organic Chemistry, Catalysis, and Photochemistry, with specialization in Asymmetric Synthesis. Key contributions include developing photoexcitation-driven enantioselective alkylations of aldehydes/enals and EDA complex-mediated indole functionalization, merging photocatalysis with organocatalysis for sustainable stereoselective transformations.

Analysis of his 2013-2015 publications reveals a cohesive trend: exploiting light-activated donor-acceptor complexes to enable mild, stereoselective carbon-carbon bond formations. His work in Nature Chemistry and JACS emphasizes mechanistic insights into enamine photochemistry and vinylogous reactivity, advancing eco-friendly synthetic paradigms.

No scientific awards are documented. Dr. Jurberg has no listed advisees or grant details in available records. He collaborates within ICIQ's infrastructure, utilizing core facilities like Photophysics Spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffraction for reaction characterization and intermediate analysis.
