We're excited to share the news of Prof. D. B. Ramachary being awarded the prestigious fellowship of Indian National Science Academy (INSA), New Delhi for his groundbreaking contributions. This fellowship highlights the remarkable work of Professor D. B. Ramachary, a renowned chemical scientist from the University of Hyderabad. His pioneering research has led to significant advancements in developing sustainable chemical reactions, paving the way for more efficient and environmentally friendly processes. These key contributions (see below) are responsible for achieving this fellowship from INSA.
Key Contributions:
- Organocatalytic Reductive Coupling: A novel approach that enables the synthesis of complex molecules with reduced environmental impact.
- Aminoenyne-Catalysis: A groundbreaking technique that facilitates the creation of complex molecules with high selectivity and reactivity.
- Organo-Click Reactions: Recently, enamine- and enolate-mediated metal-free organo-click protocols have been exploited by organic to medicinal to material chemists to synthesize the functionalized 1,2,3-triazoles.
- Asymmetric Supramolecular-Organocatalysis: A cutting-edge method that utilizes supramolecular assemblies to enhance asymmetric reactions.
- Parts-per-Million-Level Organocatalysis: An innovative approach that achieves high efficiency with minimal catalyst usage.
Professor Ramachary's work has garnered international attention and has been applied in various fields, including:
- Pharmaceuticals: His reductive coupling protocol was used by Pfizer to synthesize the anti-viral drug filibuvir on a pilot plant scale.
- Natural Product Synthesis: His group's research has led to the development of new sequential one-pot reactions for the diversity-oriented synthesis of natural products and drugs.
Professor Ramachary has received several prestigious awards, including:
- Research and Innovation Excellence Medal from Chirantan Rasayan Sanstha-2023
- Fellow, National Academy of Sciences, Allahabad (2021)
- Fellow, Royal Society of Chemistry, London (2020)
- Fellow, Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore (2018)
- Fellow, Telangana Academy of Sciences, Hyderabad (2016)
- The Chancellor Award - 2014
- BM Birla Science Prize, Hyderabad (2011)
- Anil Kumar Bose Memorial Award, New Delhi (2010)
- Indian National Science Academy Medal for Young Scientist, New Delhi (2006)
As a dedicated teacher and researcher, Professor Ramachary mentors students and inspires them to pursue career in chemistry, shaping the next generation of scientists.
