• Research details: Synthesis of hydrogenation catalysts for the production of industrially important compounds, i.e. Hydrogenation of various motifs, Raspberry Ketone, Formic acid. I have worked on the development of the homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts for the synthesis of Raspberry ketone via hydrogenation process. Further developed transition metal based heterogeneous catalysts for the synthesis of formic acid by CO2 hydrogenation and succeeded in the in very good conversion and selectivity by using Rhodium based heterogeneous catalyst, manuscripts have been published.

• Research details: Synthesis of new homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts for the production of fine chemicals of industrial application such as Styrene oxide, Jasminaldehyde and other alpha substituted cinnamic aldehydes by the cross aldol condensation, Lilial, epoxidation of castor oil and CO2 utilization in the value added chemicals viz., dimethyl carbonate, formic acid, methanol etc. and the Kumada coupling of halide compounds by using Grignard reagent at larger reaction scale. I have succeeded in the synthesis of a heterogeneous catalyst for the production of styrene oxide from styrene at 1 Kg scale and patent for the same have been granted (Patent No. WO2016189548A1, 2016).
