Looking for highly motivated, creative and ambitious students. Interested students, please apply through IISER-Thiruvananthapuram PhD program.
Our group research interests are directed toward finding new and interesting organic transformations (i.e. the discovery and development of new synthetic methods)
C–H activation/functionalization
Developing strategies to synthesize various fluorine-containing molecules
C–C and C–X bond formation utilizing weakly acidic pronucleophiles
The development of synthetic strategies to synthesize functionalized heterocycles
Asymmetric catalysis using a binary catalytic system comprising a chiral Lewis acid and a Brønsted base
Asymmetric catalysis promoted by the chiral organocatalyst
Total synthesis of molecules having biological and pharmaceutical significance and also streamlining the synthetic routes for the drug molecules in shorter synthetic steps
