Venkata Raghavendra Rao Kovvuri

Postdoctoral Research Associate
Baylor University

Specialty Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Bio-Organic Chemistry, and Medicinal Chemistry.
Science Interest
(Past)
Total Synthesis of polypropionate-derived natural products by desymmetrization protocol and development of novel methodologies for C-C bond formation. Synthesis of new five-membered cyclic acyl sulfonium salts and their application to Friedel-Crafts acylation/rearrangement reactions.
Science Interest
(Current)
Discovery of new 1,3-dipolar compound 2-amido-1,3-diazaallyl cation and its reactivity in net (4+3) and (3+2) cycloaddition reactions for cyclic guanidine anulation. Application of this novel approach to the complete total synthesis of various pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids.
Science Interest
(Future)
Synthesis of a neuroactive guanidine alkaloid dopargimine and its analogs.
