The use of small organic molecules as catalysts has been known from centuries. But only in the past decade has organocatalysis become a promising area for its use on different asymmetric reactions. The field of organocatalysis has emerged so dramatically over the past decade.
A photocatalyst is a substance that absorbs light to get excited to higher energy level and provides such energy to a reacting substance to make a chemical reaction occur. Over the past few decades the research activity in this direction has experienced a massive non linear growth. Our laboratory deals with visible light promoted photocatalysis in remote bond activation, functional group transformations and functional group addition.
