BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi “for the development of metal–organic frameworks.”

🔓Don't miss this #OpenAccess paper from @appayee et al. @iitgn in our latest issue describing the nonsilyl bicyclic secondary amine catalyzed Michael addition of nitromethane to β,β-disubstituted α,β-unsaturated aldehydes Check it out here🔽 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

The 35th CRSI National Symposium in Chemistry will be organized at IIT Gandhinagar from July 03-05, 2025, under the auspices of the Chemical Research Society of India (CRSI). For registration and other details, please visit: events.iitgn.ac.in/2025/crsi/ Deadline: April 30, 2025

Just like a pair of human hands, which are symmetric but cannot align perfectly when overlaid, some molecules in nature exist in two forms that are mirror images but not identical.

Prof. Chandrakumar Appayee from IIT Gandhinagar delivered an insightful talk at NOST OCC 2025! His expertise and contributions are truly inspiring. #NOSTOCC2025 #IITGandhinagar #AcademicExcellence

Happy to share our recent publication in @ChemCommun! Thanks to my Supervisor @appayee Synthesis and application of chiral cis-2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidine organocatalysts - now published in Chemical Communications pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

@Biswaajit88 @28Snehanjali @Hod_Lab @ArnabDuttaIITB @iitgn @ChemistryIitgn Congratulations!!

Happy to share our recent publication in @JOC_OL . Asymmetric Synthesis of α-Arylcyclohexenones Catalyzed by Diphenylprolinol Silyl Ether | The Journal of Organic Chemistry pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Fresh off the press at #JOrgChem: A non-silyl bicyclic chiral secondary amine catalyst for the efficient and scalable asymmetric transfer hydrogenation and a concise synthesis of phenoxanol, citronellol, ramelteon, and terikalant. Check it out below! go.acs.org/9Gs

Being from STEM I conclude that the reactions which look very simple on paper are tough as hell to perform actually. Rocket Science nahi hota kuch bhi but fir bhi itne nakhre hote hai in molecules ke🥲

Our recently published research article made it to the cover page.

#IITGNResearchCapsule 139: IITGN researchers have developed polymer-supported chiral catalysts that were used for the sustainable synthesis of chiral amino acid derivatives.

Haha...and the rest is history(2-1)😌

Me and my side projects

Barry Sharpless has just become the fifth individual to be awarded two Nobel Prizes. He follows in the footsteps of double #NobelPrize laureates John Bardeen, Marie Skłodowska Curie, Linus Pauling and Frederick Sanger. Sharpless was awarded the chemistry prize in 2001 and 2022

BREAKING NEWS: The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2022 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless “for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.”
