Dr. Raghavan S contributions have acclaimed recognition from honourable subject experts around the world. Dr. Raghavan S is actively associated with different societies and academies. Dr. Raghavan S academic career is decorated with several reputed awards and funding. Dr. Raghavan S research interests include Asymmetric Organic Synthesis. Research in the group is focussed toward the synthesis of natural and synthetic bioactive molecules using catalalytic asymmetric protocols employing novel methodologies, reagents and reactions. Sulfoxides, sulfilimines (nitrogen counterpart of sulfoxides) are advantageously employed as intramolecular nucleophiles for the vicinal functionalization of alkenes to prepare chiral synthons. Recently α-chloro sulfides have been utilized as reactive intermediates in C-C bond forming reactions as a route to 1,4-diols, 1,4-amino alcohols etc..
