Welcome to the RGB Research Group
Organic Synthesis and Catalysis Laboratory
Research Interests (Overview)
Our Laboratory is involved in conducting the research in the field of Organic synthesis with a focus on green asymmetric catalytic synthesis and C-H functionalization, with an emphasis on the development of new synthetic methods that facilitate the construction of complex and bioactive molecules.
Currently we are focusiing on the quinine/Cinhona catalyzed asymmetric reactions and Organocatalysis using thiourea derived catalysts. Our efforts are focussed towards the Green Asymetric Catalysis.
Novel recations that can selectively functionalize C-H bonds are of great interest to the chemical community as they offer novel and efficient strategies for the organic synthesis. C-H functionalization is very useful strategy and molecules can be modified at the late stage. We are concentrating our efforts on the asymmetric intermolecular C-H functionalization using non toxic catalysts at ambient conditions.
