Dr. Rambabu Chegondi, PhD

Our research program is focuses on the development of new synthetic strategies with broad application in the organic synthesis. In particular, the design of new enantio- & diastereoselective desymmetrization methods for the prochiral-1,3-diones, cyclohexa-2,5-dienones and other C2-symmtric substrates to access complex molecules with multiple stereogenic centers in single operation and which has broad range of application in total synthesis. Our current research interests are: (1) Development of enantio & diastereoselective desymmetrization methods; (2) Transition-metal catalyzed decorboxylative cross-couplings; (3) Total synthesis of bio-active natural products; (4) Development of new technologies for key APIs
