Assistant Professor in Chemistry
Working as an assistant professor (organic chemistry) in the Department of Chemistry, Guru Nanak College, Budhlada, MANSA, affiliated with Punjabi University Patiala, from 30th August 2016 onwards.
Practical Exposure: Named reactions such as the Strecker reaction, Hantzsch reaction, Biginelli reaction, Knoevenagel reaction, Michael reaction, Doebner decarboxylation, Perkin reaction, Vilsmeir-Haack reaction, Claisen rearrangement, and Claisen-Schmidt reaction. Catalyst exploration such as LiBr, RuCl₃, BiCl₃, GaCl₃, CdI₂, CuSO₄•5H₂O, p-TSA, alum, triflates, ionic liquids, and organocatalysts. Reduction with LAH, NaBH₄, and organo-reductors. Synthetic study of benzopyrans (viz., 3-formylchromones and their derivatives), rhodanine, and 2,4-thiazolidinedione. Synthesis and use of ionic liquids (triethylammonium acetate (TEAA) and 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([bmim][HSO₄]) in many organic transformations, such as Claisen-Schmidt condensation, Knoevenagel condensation, Hantzsch reaction, Biginelli reaction, and in the synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes, bis(indolyl)methanes, and chalcones. Green chemistry-based organic synthesis and functional group transformations.
