Prof. Jayaraman Sivaguru is known for developing an array of new photoreactions - Aza Paternò-Büchi reaction,[1] photo-ene reaction[2] and transposed Paternò-Büchi reaction.[3] He was one of the first researchers to utilize restricted bond rotations in the excited state to control asymmetric photoreactions - conceptually known as Atropselective phototoreactions.[4] His research group showed that atropisomeric thioureas can be utilized as organophotocatalysts for enantioselective photochemical reactions and developed a mechanistic model for the observed chiral induction.[5] His group also developed Supramolecular Photocatalysis based on Cucurbitruil nano-containers.[6] His research work led the use of light to degrade polymers from bio-resources and recover the degraded products to resynthesize the polymer making a sustainable and recyclable polymer.[7]
