Preface
When I was a kid, I dreamt to be an engineer and build planes, cars, etc. However, in high school, I felt in love with Organic Chemistry. I changed my dreams of building things for how to assemble C, H, N, and other atoms to form molecules. I was always astonished of the inherent difficulty of organic structures, not only for their diversity and ordered assembly but also for their 3D shape. With time, I enjoyed learning Organic Chemistry: starting from my bachelor in organic chemistry, followed by a PhD in organometallic chemistry, and several postdocs in organometallic chemistry and organocatalysis. Later on, as academic, I have always tried to develop new reactions that can allow to obtain difficult structures in an enantiopure form. However, one of the greatest challenges that I faced has been the synthesis of spiro compounds.
