We can now access C-N & N-N axially chiral pyridinones via NHC-catalyzed DKR of rotationally restricted cyclic imides, preprint just out in @ChemRxiv! We thank @EduMinOfIndia for funding the work🙏, done by @SowmyaShreeR2 & @AvishekDas01 @iiscbangalore go.shr.lc/4j9UrvW

Thank you @Soumen__Barik 🙏for being a wonderful group member since 2019 (starting your MS thesis and then PhD). Your contributions to NHC catalysis are Glori😃us! All our best wishes for your post-doctoral work at @GloriusGroup; @GloriusFrank! You will be greatly missed!

Shiksha @shiksha_deswal presented her work on “Strain-Release Driven Annulations of Bicyclobutanes and Ring-Opening of D–A Cyclopropanes” in the Thesis Colloquium Today. Good job Shiksha and nice work👏! All the best wishes for your Thesis submission👍! @iiscbangalore

Thank you, Debu🙏@maiti_iitb for the fantastic lecture on "Distal Aliphatic C–H Activation to Generative Drug Design". It was full house listening to the inspiring lecture followed by wonderful discussion! @Chemistry_IITB; @iiscbangalore; @dm_lab

Happy to share that @Soumen__Barik has successfully defended his PhD Thesis. Congratulations👏! We thank Prof. D. Maiti @maiti_iitb (for conducting the in-person viva) & Prof. Yujiro Hayashi for evaluating his Thesis! Thank U to @iiscbangalore & @EduMinOfIndia for his fellowship!

@GroupGanesh @RambabuChegondi Congratulations, Krishna & Suman, and the Boss Ganesh👏👏👏! Happy to read the thesis of Krishna, nice one👍!

Recently, two of our group's star students, Krishna and Suman, defended their Ph.D. theses. We are so proud of their achievements over the years. Many congratulations and our best wishes to them. Many thanks to @ATBijuLab and @RambabuChegondi for conducting the Thesis defense.

Thank you, Pawel @DydioLab, for visiting our Department yesterday! The lecture on "Chemical Innovation Through Mechanistic Design and Multicatalysis" was excellent. Have a great time in Kolkata, Delhi and Mumbai before you fly back to @ChemCambridge.

Our Group Member Shiksha @shiksha_deswal presented her work on "Strain-release driven reactions of Bicyclobutanes" during XX J-NOST 2025 Conference at @IITISM_DHANBAD. Thank you @NOST_India for providing this unique opportunity for her🙏!
