	Dr. Jesmin Begum Assistant Professor *ACADEMIC QUALIFICATION:* M.Sc., Ph.D. (SET qualified) *SPECIALIZATION:* Organic chemistry *RESEARCH BACKGROUND*: Research is done in organic synthesis. Different Solid supported reagents and ionic liquids are prepared and their catalytic activities are determined. A number of medicinally active compounds are synthesized using different polymer supported reagents. These compounds are also synthesized under microwave irradiation using the ionic liquids in solvent free condition. Finally, the catalytic activities of both the catalysts are compared by performing a comparative study on these pharmaceutically active compounds.
