Muriel DURANDETTI

BIOGRAPHY

Muriel Durandetti received her PhD (Paris VI University) in 1994 under the supervision of Prof. Périchon on nickel-catalyzed electrosynthesis. Then she worked 4 years as assistant professor in Paris XII University. In 1998, she obtained an associate professorship position, and developed electrocatalysed cross-coupling reaction using nickel, chromium or iron salts. She completed these works with mechanistic investigations using electroanalytical processes. In 2005, she moved to Rouen Normandy University as associate professor, in the group of Jacques Maddaluno. Her research focused on intramolecular cyclisation reaction by carbometallation (lithium, magnesium, nickel, palladium), which allows accessing to various complex polycyclic scaffolds. Recently, she focused her attention on the synthesis of silylated heterocycles, and opened new strategies to generate valuable scaffolds.
