CCSL is a synthetic chemistry laboratory aimed towards achieving the synthesis of small molecules via contemporary approaches in organic chemistry. Our research efforts are geared towards designing, synthesizing and optimizing catalysts (organo and acid-base) for enantioselective transformations for the synthesis of a small molecule. We are also focusing on transition metal catalyzed activation of inert C-H bond and converting it to a more resourceful functional group.  Further, the synthetic methods (including asymmetric) developed at CCSL are extended towards the total synthesis of structurally fascinating and biologically active molecules.
