Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry Blog

Professor Santanu Mukherjee (Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore), recently joined the Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry team as an Associate Editor. Santanu works in the field of asymmetric catalysis, with a focus on the discovery of new enantioselective transformations. His research group investigates hydrogen bonding, Lewis base and bifunctional catalysis, and more recently, he has focused on iridium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitution reactions.

To find out more about Santanu, take a look at our recent blog welcoming him to the team.

Santanu has picked out a selection of his personal favourite recent OBC articles which you can read now for free*
