1. Synthesis, Characterization and Catalytic activity of Dioxido-uranium (VI) and Dioxido-molybdenum (VI) Complexes

• Dioxido-molybdenum and dioxido-uranium complexes derived from mannich base ligands can act as potential catalysts for reactions like epoxidation, oxidative bromination, oxidation of sulphides etc.

a. Ligand synthesis and Characterization, 

b. Metal complexes synthesis and their Characterization

• Exposure of multiple API synthesis route
• Troubleshooting of API's Processes
• Standard impurities synthesized
• Literature search for new route of synthesis.

During my Bachelor’s studies, I have performed a lot of experiments in organic  synthesis, inorganic as well as in physical chemistry. I have performed many  name reactions during my Bachelor’s and master’s and some of them are  Coordination complexes of Ni, Titrations, pH metry, Bromination of aniline,  nitration of toluene, determination of b.pt and M.pt, Qualitative analysis of  organic and inorganic compounds. In my Master’s Project, I worked on the synthesis, characterization and catalytic  activities of Dioxidouranium and Dioxidovanadium Complexes. I have  completed synthesis and characterization of ligands and complexes but due to  covid catalytic activities were not performed. After Completing my Master’s from IIT- Roorkee, I got campus placement to  Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories (DRL), one of the Indian MNC pharmaceutical  organization. I have started my career in DRL as a Technical trainee in Research and  Development lab of APIs (Active Pharmaceuticals Ingredients). I have learned  from basics to advances about the organic lab techniques like basic reactions set  up, Air sensitive reactions working under nitrogen atmosphere, how to develop  TLC for different reactions, Azeotropic setup, isolation, crystallization, handling  of Rotatory Evaporator and many more. To confirm the product formed, we use  differentanalysis tools like HPLC, NMR, IR, UV, LC-MS, GC-MS. As a R&D Scientist, we must interpretate the data from different Analysis so I have fine  knowledge of Interpretation of data from various analytical data. Now days, I am a Process API Scientist and have been working every day in R&D department. My work generally includes New Route synthesis of APIs, Impurities preparations and troubleshooting of routes. I am dealing with  different kinds of reactions like Substitutions, Cyclization, Functional group conversion and C-C coupling reaction (Suzuki coupling). In Conclusion, I feel I have enough experience of handling organic reactions  and knowledge to understand them well. My experience makes me suitable  candidate for this Ph.D. Position.
