She is the author of 95 papers including reviews in international journals, 7 books, and 6 book chapters. Alessandra Lattanzi obtained the national Italian habilitation for Full Professor in organic chemistry in 2013 at the University of Salerno (Italy) and received her MSc and Ph D from University of Rome „La Sapienza“ (Italy). From 1999 to 2000 she was a visiting scientist in Prof. V. K. Aggarwal“s group in Sheffield (UK). In 2005, she was promoted to Associate Professor at the University of Salerno. She has authored over 95 publications including reviews in international journals, 12 book chapters in the areas of stereoselective synthesis of heterocyclic compounds and oxidation reactions. Starting in 1983, Renato Dalpozzo was a Researcher of Organic Chemistry at the University of Bologna (Italy). In 1992, he moved to the University of Calabria (Italy) as Associate Professor of Organic Chemistry and then as Full Professor of Organic Chemistry. For ten years he was also full Professor of Environmental and Cultural Heritage Chemistry. He has authored over 110 publications and a book chapter in the areas of the reactivity of organometallic compounds with aromatic systems, the use of dianions derived from enamino carbonyl compounds, the stereoselective reduction of various classes of ketones, the development of new Lewis acid systems, and enantioselective organocatalysis. He authored also a text book for students of his University.
