Prof. Maiti has an expertise in the broad spectrum of organic chemistry. He is one of the pioneers of distal C-H functionalization of organic molecules via the directing group approach. The C-H functionalization of aliphatic C-H bond is a major challenge in chemistry, his design of the suitable catalyst and the reaction conditions can now lead to products with high efficiency and more importantly with excellent selectivity. His recent contribution to the distinct single metal catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling has the potential to bring a new disconnection to the cross-coupling domain. He is currently focusing the utilization of green-house gases such as CO2, CO in organic chemistry to synthesize important organic products using mild reaction conditions at room temperature.
