Dienamine Catalysis for Organic Synthesis

Dr Ramachary obtained his Doctoral degree (Organic Synthesis) at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore for his research work on “Total Synthesis of Sesquiterpenes Containing Three Contiguous Quaternary Carbon Atoms” (with Prof. A. Srikrishna). In January 2002, he moved to Prof. Carlos F. Barabas III research group as Skaggs Post Doctoral fellow at The Scripps Research Institute, San Diego. After three years of studies at TSRI, he then joined as Faculty member in School of Chemistry, University of Hyderabad in Jan 2005, where at present he is an Associate Professor. After joining in University of Hyderabad as a faculty member in the School of Chemistry, he has started a research programme on the development of new sequential one-pot pathways for the diversity oriented synthesis (DOS) of polycyclic natural product-like compounds, drugs and drug-like molecules by employing various complexity generating reactions such as asymmetric aldol, Michael, Mannich, Diels-Alder and amination reactions, click reaction and other organocatalytic reactions on simple starting materials.
