Our research is focused on the development of novel protocols highly efficient from both chemical and environmental point of views.<br/>To this end we are developing and combining several different tools such as: i) the use of safer and greener reaction media (such water, azeotropes or biomass-derived reaction media), ii) the design, preparation and utilization of heterogeneous recoverable and reusable catalytic systems based on supports tailor-made for the specific selected medium; iii) setting and application of flow reactors able to allow the recovery of products with minimal waste production.<br/>In this communication, we present our recent results on the development of chemically and environmentally-efficient protocols for C-H activation/functionalization technologies based on the combination of safer biomass-derived reaction media and heterogeneous catalytic systems.
