Roberto Ballini Author & Editor

Roberto Ballini is a Full Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Camerino, Italy. His research interest is mainly dedicated to organic synthesis, with particular emphasis on the field of eco-friendly processes (green chemistry). Professor Ballini's group has developed a variety of collaborations with other Universities worldwide conducting similar research. Of particular interest to them all is the chemistry of aliphatic nitro compounds, employed for the generation of carbon-carbon single and multiple bonds and carbon-carbon double bonds as well as for the cleavage of the carbon-carbon bonds. The obtained products find widespread utilization as key building blocks in the synthesis of important targets such as natural products featuring enhanced biological activity. This scientific activity has resulted in more than 210 publications in the main scientific journals, including several Review articles, mainly in the fields of organic synthesis and eco-friendly processes (green chemistry). Professor Ballini has been invited to attend conferences in various national and international meetings and symposiums and has been a lecturer in several worldwide Universities.
