Srinivasan Chandrasekaran

Srinivasan Chandrasekaran (born 1945) is an Indian

S. Chandrasekaran was born on 15 November 1945 in the south Indian state of

Chandrasekaran lives in Bengaluru and serves as an honorary professor at the Indian Institute of Science.[7]

Legacy

During his post-doctoral studies with Corey, Chandrasekaran was able to accomplish the synthesis of gibberellic acid, a plant growth hormone, successfully for the first time.^[2] Later at Syntex, he worked on the synthesis of beta-lactam antibiotics. Subsequently, working on organic reaction mechanisms, he developed a set of new organic synthesis reagents and using them, accomplished the creation of the carbon constellations.^[8] His research has been documented by way of several articles published in peer-reviewed journals^{[9][10][note 1]} and ResearchGate, an online article repository has listed 318 of them.^[11] Besides, he has contributed chapters to two books;^{[note 2]} 3 chapters to the Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis and one chapter to Particle Swarm Optimization.^{[citation needed]} He has also mentored several scholars in their studies and has delivered keynote addresses and plenary speeches.^[7] He was involved with the functioning of many science societies; executive committee membership and chair of International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, chair of the national committee of the Indian National Science Academy, secretaryship of the Indian Academy of Sciences and the presidency of the Chemical Research Society of India were some of those responsibilities.^[2]
