Dhevalapally Buchi Ramachary FTAS, FASc, FRSC, also known as D. B. Ramachary (born 18 June 1973), is an Indian Chemist and Professor at School of Chemistry, University of Hyderabad. He is notably known for his huge contribution towards organocatalytic sequential one-pot reactions, Ramachary reductive coupling (RRC), asymmetric supramolecular organocatalysis, push-pull dienamine-catalysis, aminoenyne-catalysis, BIRO reactions, and metal-free carbonyls based click chemistry.

Early life & education

D. B. Ramachary was born to Shri Ramalingaiahchary and Ramalingamma on 18 June 1973, at Thatikal village, Nakrekal mandal, Nalgonda district of Telangana. He did his early schooling at ZPHS schools at Thatikal and Nakrekal, and later joined for an under graduate BSc programme at Nagarjuna Government College (Autonomous) at Nalgonda (1991–1994). Later, he moved to School of Chemistry, University of Hyderabad for pursuing MSc chemistry (1994-96). His passion towards chemistry made him to secure PhD in synthetic organic chemistry under the guidance of Prof. A. Srikrishna at Indian Institute of Science in 1996–2001 for the total synthesis of sesquiterpenes like (±)-grimaldone, (±)-epigrimaldone, (±)-β-microbiotene, (±)-microbiotol and (±)-cyclocuparenol.[1][2] Soon after PhD in 2001, he moved to US as a Skaggs Postdoctoral Fellow and worked with Prof. Carlos F. Barbas III at Department of Chemistry and Molecular Biology, The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, United States during 2002–2005 for the development of small molecular-catalysis.[3][4][5][6][7]

Academic career

Ramachary was Lecturer (2005–2007), Reader (2007–2010), Associate Professor (2010–2013), and at present he is a Full Professor of Organic Chemistry since 2013 at the Catalysis laboratory, School of Chemistry, University of Hyderabad. He has authored more than 100 research papers. He has delivered more than 100 invited lectures at the both national and international organizations.[8]

Research

Ramachary dealt with ‘Total synthesis of Sesquiterpenes containing three contiguous quaternary carbon atoms’ during his doctoral studies with Prof. Adusumilli Srikrishna’s Laboratory at Indian Institute of Science. In 2005, when Ramachary started his own research carrier at School of Chemistry, UoH, he showed interest towards discovering green reactions and catalysts. His laboratory mainly focused on the development of organocatalytic sequential one-pot reactions, asymmetric supramolecular catalysis and organocatalysis, development of multi-component and multi-catalysis cascade reaction,[9] metal-free carbonyls based click chemistry.[10][11][12] His research laboratory discovered important reactions based on three-component reductive alkylation (TCRA)[13][14][15][16] and push-pull dienamine (PPD) reactions.[17][18][19][20] His research also focuses on the theoretical aspects of organocatalysis in finding out the suitable organocatalyst for stereoselective reactions using computational resources which helps in achieving better synthetic methodologies. Using this, his research group observed the electrostatic and dipole-dipole interactions in proline-catalyzed asymmetric desymmetrization of pro-chiral ketones with nitrosobenzene.[21] He has also undertaken the challenging research program by looking at the trapping or stabilizing of king size pre- or post-transition states of asymmetric reactions by designing new tool ‘asymmetric supramolecular catalysis’ through which characterization of large-size supramolecular rings in the pre-transition state (pre-TS) of enol- or enamine-based Michael reactions for high asymmetric induction was reported.[22][23] He also developed many new green reactions and novels which received great attention from researchers in the scientific community across the world. His contributions through original developed reactions were used by organic, medicinal, material chemists. The reactions which are named after him are: 1) Ramachary Reductive Coupling Reaction, 2) Ramachary-Bressy-Wang Cycloaddition, 3) Ramachary Aminoenyne-catalysis, 4) Ramachary Base Induced Ring Opening (BIRO) Reaction, 5) Ramachary Azide-Carbonyl [3+2]-Cycloaddition.[24][25]
