Scientific Discoveries:

  • We, for the first time, invented this phenomenon "Enantiomer Self-disproportionation (ESD)" for the separation of non-racemic mixtures of non-fluorinated compounds. It is not only limited to fluorinated compounds. We have discovered and given a third possible mechanism for ESD. Enantiomer self-disproportionation is a process in stereochemistry describing the separation of a non-racemic mixture of enantiomer in an enantio-enriched fraction and more racemic fractions as a result of the heterochiral, homochiral and mixture of both the aggregates.​

  • New Patented silica-supported (i) Chiral amino-alcohol and (ii) its metal complex based chiral column packing material (HPLC column) for separation of racemic medicines, drug intermediates, and reagents.
