“Dual Transition Metal Catalyzed C-C and C-heteroatom Cross-Coupling: Sustainable Approach towards the Synthesis of Bioactive Molecules” Dr. Debasish Kundu, Assistant Professor in Chemistry (WBES) Department of Science Technology & Biotechnology, Govt. of West Bengal (WBDST) The project is focused on developing green catalytic systems to perform carbon -heteroatom cross coupling reactions with aryl and heteroaryl counterparts for the synthesis of biologically important moieties. Organosulfides, selenides and tellurides have been synthesized by newly developped Co/Cu and Ni/Cu catalytic systems.
