Brief Statement of research work

My research work focuses on synthetic organic chemistry, particularly the design and synthesis of small drug molecules with potential biological applications. I am actively engaged in developing and optimizing cross-coupling reactions to construct diverse and functional molecular frameworks efficiently. Furthermore, my research includes the synthesis of organic materials for solar cell applications and theoretical studies to understand reaction mechanisms and support rational molecular design.

Regioselective synthesis of biaryl and triaryl ring systems via palladium catalysed Suzuki Cross Coupling reactions
PROJECT. NO. 20-1465/R&D/2009 HEC
The Suzuki palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of organoboron compounds with organic halides pseudo-halides is a remarkably useful tool in organic synthesis .during the past decade, this reaction for carbon-carbon bond formation, which proceeds under mild conditions, is largely unaffected by presence of water, tolerates abroad range of functionality and yields nontoxic by products. The reaction has largely been employed in academic laboratories as well as pharmaceuticals and fine chemical industries to synthesize large variety of organic molecules. For example, it has been applied industrially to productions of Losartan which is Merck antihypertensive drugs. In this project we will use thiophene as basic substrate for the Suzuki palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction to synthesize the thiophene based heterocyclic compounds. These compounds will be checked for pharmacological importance as well as material science properties for example luminescence
