Research

Brief Outline

Research activity in our laboratory is focused on developing new environmentally friendly and efficient catalytic reaction methodologies of broad synthetic utility to construct various important organic molecules for their potential application in medicinal chemistry and in materials sciences. Recently we are engaged in development of effective catalytic methodology for synthesis and fictionalization of potential bioactive heterocyclic molecule of pharmaceutical importance via C-H activation and cross coupling reaction strategy. To achieve our target molecules via catalytic methods, we are focussing on development of Palladium and Copper based Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysis, Nanocatalysis, Iodine Catalysis, Organocatalysis etc.
