Rate My Professor Mohan Krishnan

Dr. Mohanakrishnan's research focuses on synthetic organic chemistry, with significant contributions to the development of novel reactions and total syntheses. Key publications include 'Lewis acid-mediated Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction at room temperature: a facile preparation of arylmethyl/heteroarylmethyl phosphonates' (Organic Letters, 2011, GG Rajeshwaran, M Nandakumar, R Sureshbabu, AK Mohanakrishnan, 189 citations); 'Pd-mediated C–H arylation of EDOT and synthesis of push–pull systems incorporating EDOT' (Tetrahedron, 2007, P Amaladass, JA Clement, AK Mohanakrishnan, 108 citations); 'A versatile construction of the 8H-quino[4,3-b]carbazole ring system as a potential DNA binder' (The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 1995, AK Mohanakrishnan, PC Srinivasan, 92 citations); 'Synthetic studies on indolocarbazoles: Total synthesis of staurosporine aglycon' (Organic Letters, 2011, GG Rajeshwaran, AK Mohanakrishnan, 85 citations); 'Functionalization of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene' (Tetrahedron, 1999, AK Mohanakrishnan, A Hucke, MA Lyon, MV Lakshmikantham, MP Cava, 80 citations); 'Studies in the Dithienylbenzo[c]thiophene Series' (The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 1998, AK Mohanakrishnan, MV Lakshmikantham, C McDougal, MP Cava et al., 74 citations); 'Lewis acid/Bronsted acid mediated benz-annulation of thiophenes and electron-rich arenes' (Organic Letters, 2014, SM Rafiq, R Sivasakthikumaran, AK Mohanakrishnan, 62 citations). These works demonstrate innovations in heterocycle synthesis, arylation reactions, and materials-relevant compounds, influencing subsequent research in organic and medicinal chemistry.
