specialty and fine chemicals.

Synthesis of Pyridine and Picolines - Sponsored Project
Post Doctoral Fellow : (October 1996 – September 1997)
Fine Chemicals Division, DTIQ/IBQTA/INETI, LISBON, PORTUGAL
During this period I have worked on the synthesis, electrochemical behaviour and
radical scavenging evaluation of a series of 14 diarylamines obtained by arylation of anilines
derived from dehydroabietic acid, the main component of disproportionate rosin. Their redox
properties were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and their free radical scavenging activity
was tested in dilution assays on the reduction of the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH)
radical, proving the four diarylamines with lower oxidation potential to be as active as
isopropyldiphenylamine (IPPD) and superior to t-butylhydroxytoluene (BHT), synthetic
antioxidants commercially available. It was possible to establish structure-property-activity
relationships between oxidation potential and substitution pattern on the aromatic ring of the
diterpenic moity.
Research Associate : (January 1996 – October 1996)
Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad – 500 007, India.
Graduate Research : (April 1991 – September1995)

Synthesis and characterization of new chiral phosphines derived from carbohydrates such
as D-Manitol and D-Sorbital. The chiral phosphine complexes display moderate
enantioselectivity
in
the
asymmetric
hydrogenation
of
methyl
ester
of
benzamidocinnamic acid.

Evaluation of hydrotalcites – as catalysts for various organic transformations such as
Hydroperoxidations, oxidations and nucleophilic additions in liquid phase conditions.

Poly oxy metal cations have intercalated in the interlayers of montmorillonite. Which is
used for asymmetric catalysis.
Experimental and Instrumentation Experience
I acquainted experience in handling the reactions at ambient and inert conditions.
Experience in Microwave irradiation reactions using sophisticated instruments like ETHOS
MR etc. I acquired with various chromatographic (TLC, PTLC, Column, GC and HPLC) and
interpretation of the structure of organic compounds using 1HNMR,13CNMR, Mass, FTIR
and CHNS analysis etc. Characterization of zeolites and mesoporous material catalysts by
BET surface area, XRD, FTIR, TG/DTA, solid state NMR, SEM, EDX, TPD etc. techniques.
Highly conversant with the experimental techniques such as GC, HPLC, thin layer
chromatography and column chromatography. I have working experience on high vacuum
lines, Schlenk techniques and High pressure reactors.
