Remote C-H Bond Functionalizations

Debabrata Maiti received his PhD from Johns Hopkins University (USA) in 2008 under the supervision of Prof. Kenneth D. Karlin. After postdoctoral studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with Prof. Stephen L. Buchwald (2008 - 2010), he joined the Department of Chemistry at IIT Bombay in 2011, where he is currently an Associate Professor. He is also a Visiting Faculty at University of Pavia, Italy. Professor Maiti has authored about 114 scientific publications and has received numerous scientific awards. He is also the Associate Editor of the Journal of Organic Chemistry and member of Editorial Advisory Board of Organometallics and Chemistry - An Asian Journal. Srimanta Guin graduated from Sree Gopal Banerjee College, Burdwan University in 2007 and obtained his M.Sc degree from Visva-Bharati University in 2009. He received his doctoral degree in organic synthesis from Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati under the supervision of Prof. Bhisma Kumar Patel in 2015. He then joined Prof. Debabrata Maiti as a National Post-doctoral Fellow in 2016. His current research interest is focused on the development of transition metal catalyzed distal C-H functionalization of arenes and aliphatic substrates.
