Organic Synthesis & Catalysis Laboratory
@The Maji Research Group
Our Motivation
Synthesis of organic molecules in a simple, efficient, and cost-effective manner is of great importance to the human society for achieving value-added molecules with potential activity for pharmaceutical, and chemical industries, materials sciences, energy supply, crop protection, nutrition, etc. In this respect, catalysis is the critical technology for developing such processes and is becoming increasingly critical in the 21st century. My research focuses on developing small molecular catalysts using cheap and abundant resources for environmentally benign and economically sound catalytic transformations. It combines the knowledge of organic synthesis, organometallic chemistry, and physical organic chemistry to activate small molecules and asymmetric transformations to produce synthetically and pharmaceutically relevant molecules.Recent Publications
