Nicoletta Gaggero received her Ph.D. degree in 1992 working on stereoselective reactions with natural proteins, enzymes and models of enzymes. After working at the Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination du CNRS of Toulouse, she obtained a permanent position at the Università degli Studi di Milano. Her research interests cover the field of biocatalysis and asymmetric synthesis.

Abstract

2,3-Dihydro-1,5-benzothiazepines have been obtained through a domino process involving a Michael addition of 2-aminothiophenols to chalcones, followed by in situ cyclization. Up to 98% chemical yields have been obtained at room temperature under essentially neutral conditions by using hexafluoro-2-propanol as an efficient medium.
