Curriculum Vitae<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I am Prof. Debabrata Maiti currently institute chair professor in the department of chemistry, IIT Bombay since. My group works on diverse fields starting from bioinspired catalysis, metal-mediated defunctionalizations, photocatalysis, lignin valorization, heterocycle synthesis, and olefin functionalization. Although my prime research focus is metal catalysed C-H activation, we have also developed metal mediated halogenations by vanadium oxoperoxo species and direct halogenation by non-heme biomimetic iron-oxo complexes. In recent times, Maiti group is pursuing research fields of artificial metallo-enzymatic methodologis. Additionally, DM group have developed new methods to construct biologically active heterocyclic core. We also closely work with research-focused companies aiming at new drug discovery, agrochemicals and materials. Based on our recent discoveries on distal C\u2013H functionalization, \u201cMaiti-Bera-Modak Auxiliary\u201d is now commercially available from Sigma-Aldrich (product number 798193) and \u201cMaiti-Bag Auxiliary\u201d from TCI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
