Dr. Santanu Ghosh, Department of Chemistry, School of Natural Sciences, Shiv Nadar IoE, NH – 91, Tehsil Dadri, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Uttar Pradesh – 201314

Project Synopsis
The aim of the project is to develop a unified and efficient strategy to solve the ultimatum associated with the indole- and tetrahydroquinoline-containing secondary metabolites. These are important sources of traditional medicines and pharmaceuticals and therefore continue to attract the interest of the chemical synthesis community. We intend to establish a synthesis protocol for aspernomine, one of the important congeners of the targeted natural product class. The success of this method will allow us to provide sufficient material for further biological evaluation of the current target molecule, which may lead to new drug discovery.

Nature of work
Construction of multiple stereogenic centers via atom and step economic pathway. The project is associated with synthesizing and characterizing substituted decalin motifs and the late-stage construction of the tetrahydroquinoline unit. The project involves asymmetric multistep organic synthesis, characterization of organic molecules, etc.

Essential and Desirable Qualifications
The applicant should have a Master’s degree (with at least 60% marks or equivalent grade point average) in Chemistry from a UGC recognized University. Good synthetic skills and familiarity with multistep organic synthesis are preferred. Understanding organic reaction mechanisms and the ability to characterize organic molecules are also desirable. Applicants should have a postgraduate degree in organic chemistry. Other qualifications, such as NET and GATE, are preferred.

Duration of the Project
The candidate will be hired for a year.

No. of Position
Two

Stipend
A consolidated stipend of ₹20000 p.m.
