Welcome to A Hajra Research Group!
Department of Chemistry, Visva-Bharati, India
We are a group of motivated chemists working on developing new methodologies for Synthetic Organic Chemistry. We use early and late transition metals to break away an inactive C-H bond as well as greener pathways like photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, hypervalent halogen chemistry etc to synthesize/functionalize new set of (heteroaromatic) molecules.
