TRAINING OR RESEARCH ACTIVITY
Academic Research
During Ph.D.:
I had spent 3 months (19 Jan 2014 to 24 April 2014) in the laboratory of Applied material chemistry
at University of Namur, Namur, Belgium.
Tutor : Dr. Carmela Aprile

Research activity was incorporated to my doctoral thesis and got exposure to the
sophisticated instrumentation.
During M.Sc.:
I spent 3 months ( 1 Feb 2008 to 30 April 2008) in Garware research centre at University of Pune,
Pune, India.
Tutor: Prof. Dilip. D. Dhavale

Title of the project was “Synthesis of polyhydroxyquinuclidines from D-Glucose.”
Industrial Research:
I had more than 3 years of industrial experience on organic synthesis as a research scientist in
research and devolopement department at Evotec India (P) Ltd, India. Which is a custom research
organisation (CRO) deals with drug discovery research.


Preparation of bio-active target molecules by carrying out various kind of synthetic
reactions, purification and characterization of crude and/or pure compounds by means of
1
HNMR, 13CNMR, HPLC, GC-MS, MS and IR…etc.

Worked on various air sensitive or metal reagents like n-BuLi, t-BuLi, LDA, DIBALH, NaH,
LAH, NaBH4, NaCNBH4 etc.

Undertook projects, which involved the reactions like esterification, nitration,
Bromination, alkylation, condensation, protection-deprotection, cyclisation, reduction,
oxidation, salt formation etc.

Familiar with the drying process of different solvents like acetone, DCM, acetonitrile,
THF/Di ethyl ether, DMF/DMSO, EtOH/MeOH, Benzene/Toulene.

Purification techniques used; Column chromatography, Flash C.C., Crystallization,
Fractional distillation, High vacuum distillation and usage of the preparative TLC.

Maintain day to day work in written format and follow the safety protocols during the
work in the lab.
Achievements:

Multistep anti-cancer drug molecules (such as Gefitinib, Erlotinib and Tandutinib) and
their intermediates had been synthesized and well characterized independently.

Hundreds of library compounds and intermediates were prepared and successfully
dispatched to our clients within given timelines.

Number of pyrimidine and pyrimidone derivatives were designed, synthesized and well
characterized from milligram to gram scale.

Achieved “Best chemist of the year award” in the previous company for the year 2010.
