Welcome to our research group page!

A brief introduction of our research interests: Targeted and diverse synthesis of bioactive molecules is a challenging task for a chemist. In this context, Synthetic organic chemistry has become a potent tool in developing novel, effective, and sustainable methods to access complex organic scaffolds. Particularly, transition metals offer a unique approach because of their high selectivity and catalytic reactivity.

At CSIR-CDRI Lucknow, we are engaged in the development of effective concepts and methodologies for the synthesis of carbocyclic and heterocyclic scaffolds in racemic as well as enantiomeric forms using sustainable transition metal catalysts and their application in drug discoveries, natural products synthesis, agrochemicals, organic optical materials synthesis, and industrial chemicals synthesis. Additionally, we are also working on designing of new homogeneous catalysts and their application in organic reactions.
