1. Development of new strategies for carbon-carbon and carbon-hetero bond forming reactions.  

2. Design and development of stereoselective one-pot multi-step reactions for the synthesis of carbocyclic and     ..heterocyclic building blocks of synthetic importance. 

3. Design and synthesis of new chiral non-racemic catalysts and ligands for enantioselective reactions.  

4. Development of new reaction methodologies for the functionalization of unactivated substrates by ....harnessing the power of electrocatalysis and photo-redox catalysis. 

5. Total synthesis of biologically active natural products and non-natural molecules.
