Marcus Mandolesi Sá is Full Professor of Organic Chemistry at Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), in Florianópolis, Brazil and is the Coordinator of the Chemistry Postgraduate Program (period 2019-2021). He received his diploma (1989) and his doctoral (1995) degrees in Organic Chemistry from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) under the guidance of Prof. Albert Kascheres, working in the chemistry of vinyl azides and azirines. After periods of postdoctoral research work on the reactivity of diazo compounds with Prof. Albert Padwa at Emory University in Atlanta, USA (1995-1997), and on the synthesis and biological activities of nucleoside derivatives with Prof. José Tércio Ferreira at Federal University of São Carlos, in São Carlos, Brazil (1997-1998), he moved to UFSC in 1998 to start his independent academic career. He is scientific consultant for R&D agencies and Journals, including The Journal of Organic Chemistry, Green Chemistry, European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, Tetrahedron, Tetrahedron Letters, Arkivoc, and Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society. He has granted a research scholarship ?Pesquisador-2? from CNPq (Brazilian Research Council) since 2006. His current research interests include the synthesis of carbocycles, heterocycles and bioactive substances, new synthetic methodologies (domino, one-pot, multicomponent processes), the reactivity of multifunctionalized compounds and three-membered rings, heterogeneous catalysis, microwave synthesis, and green chemistry.
