Rate My Professor Mohammed Shaikh

Dr. Shaikh’s academic interests and research specializations encompass organic synthesis, organofluorine chemistry, natural product synthesis, and heterocyclic chemistry. In his laboratory, students receive training in organic synthesis techniques, including experimental design, literature searches, purification, and characterization of organic compounds using advanced research instruments. His scholarly contributions include key publications such as “Electrochemical Halogenations” (Adisa, A. & Shaikh, A., 2025, Encyclopedia of Green Chemistry), “(Diethylamino)sulfur trifluoride (DAST)-mediated oxidation of benzylic alcohols and amines to carbonyl compounds” (Smeyne, D. et al., 2024, Synthetic Communications), “Discovery of Quinoline-Derived Trifluoromethyl Alcohols as Antiepileptic and Analgesic Agents That Block Sodium Channels” (Williams, A. et al., 2022, ChemMedChem), and “Electrochemical esterification via oxidative coupling of aldehydes and alcohols” (Smeyne, D. et al., 2021, Tetrahedron Letters). These works advance green chemistry methodologies and the synthesis of biologically active compounds.
