Greetings !

Welcome to my website!

I’m Izarul Islam. You can call me Izarul by my first name. I would like to be a molecular engineer who can design and synthesize novel molecules, like ancient architects, that will last for a long time. 

I have completed the M.Sc. in Organic Chemistry with a thesis entitled A Straightforward Green Technique to Pyrrolo-acridine Synthesis Mediated by Nicotinic Acid as an Organocatalyst (Tetrahedron). 

My research interests include Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Total Synthesis, Medicinal Chemistry, Catalysis, and Green Chemistry.

If you have any further questions about me or the work that I have completed, please do not hesitate to contact me; my contact information is provided below.

Thank you for visiting my site!

Technical Skills

Driven by my deep interest and solid foundation in organic chemistry, I continuously seek opportunities to learn and refine my skills. 

Organic synthesis typically involves three crucial stages: 

Preparation, Purification, and Characterization.

Here, I will showcase 

• Reactions I have independently performed.
• Purification techniques and instruments I've utilized in the laboratory.
• My proficiency with characterization tools through my research experience.

1. Preparation (synthesis):

1. Synthesis of aromatic core: Pyrrolo-acridine derivatives, xanthene, phthalazine
2. Modification of aromatic core: methylene to carbonyl, nitrile to primary amine
3. Synthesis of starting materials: Isatin and its derivatives, 5-phenylcyclohexane-1,3-dione
4. Commonly known reactions: esterification, reduction, nitration, alkylation, and so on.
5. Complexation:

2. Purification:

1. Column chromatography: Purification of pyrrolo-acridine derivatives
2. PTLC: Some cases of pyrrolo-acridine synthesis
3. TLC: To monitor progress and completion of reaction
4. Distillation: Solvent distillation (ethanol, acetone, n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and so on)
5. Solvent extraction: Preparation of isatin By the Sandmeyer method
6. Rotary evaporation at a reduced pressure: Remove excess solvent from the reaction mixture.
7. Recrystallization: Used to get pure product for NMR/HMRS/single crystal

3. Characterization (Operational Command):

1. Single crystal XRD: (Prepared single crystal and analyzed data.)
2. NMR Proton and Carbon-13: (Prepared NMR-grade samples and analyzed NMR data.)
3. HRMS: (Prepared HRMS-grade samples and investigated masses and molecular formula)
4. FT-IR: (Operated FTIR and analyzed FTIR data.)
5. UV: (Operated Shimadzu UV-1900i Spectrophotometer and analyzed data.)
