Fields of academic interests
The main thrust of my research is directed towards the synthesis and transformation of ortho-halogeno cyclic boronic acids using a combination of spectroscopic NMR (1H and 13C) and FTIR techniques as well as mass spectrometry. Novel polycyclic derivatives would be evaluated for potential biological activities
