Title of Talk: Transformative Asymmetric and Catalytic Processes for Ideal API Synthesis

Abstract: In modern pharmaceutical development, medicinally important compounds are becoming increasingly complex and challenging to synthesize efficiently. The development of robust asymmetric and catalytic transformations has therefore become essential to the streamlined preparation of these molecules. This lecture will highlight key catalytic transformations for greener and ideal synthetic routes towards active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
