The book Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds by Dr. Rakesh Kumar Parashar and Dr Beena Negi provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to heterocyclic chemistry. It begins with the chapter on classification and nomenclature of heterocyclic compounds. Subsequent chapters delve into the synthesis and reactivity of heterocycles ranging from three- to seven-membered rings, including both monocyclic and fused ring systems. The text also discusses physical properties such as boiling and melting points, dipole moments, pKa values, and includes spectral data like ¹H and ¹³C NMR for various heterocycles. Each chapter concludes with questions and answers or hints to reinforce the concepts discussed. Reaction mechanisms are presented where relevant to enhance understanding. This book serves as a valuable resource for students, educators, researchers, and individuals preparing for competitive examinations in the field of chemistry.
Prof. Rakesh Kumar Parashar is a seasoned academic and researcher in the field of Organic Chemistry, currently serving as a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Delhi. He earned his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the University of Delhi in 1990, specializing in Synthetic Heterocyclic Chemistry. Following his doctorate, he pursued post-doctoral research at the University of Barcelona, Spain, and the Technical University of New Lisbon, Portugal.
With over three decades of teaching experience, Prof. Parashar has instructed undergraduate, M.Tech. (Chemical Synthesis and Process Technologies), and postgraduate students at the University of Delhi. He has also supervised several Ph.D. candidates, contributing significantly to the field of organic chemistry.
In addition to his academic roles, Prof. Parashar has held administrative positions, including serving as the Chairman of Maharaja Agrasen College and as a member of the Governing Body of Kirori Mal College, University of Delhi.
Prof. Parashar's research portfolio includes 76 peer-reviewed research papers and review articles published in both national and international journals. His work primarily focuses on the synthesis and biological evaluation of heterocyclic compounds, with applications in medicinal chemistry.
Dr. Beena Negi is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Gargi College, University of Delhi. She completed her Ph.D. in Synthetic Medicinal Chemistry from the University of Delhi in 2012, under the supervision of Professor Diwan S. Rawat. Dr. Negi's research interests encompass synthetic medicinal chemistry, heterocyclic chemistry, green chemistry, and nanochemistry. She has authored over 20 publications in peer-reviewed national and international journals, accumulating more than 1,100 citations and achieving an h-index of 14.
In recognition of her academic excellence, Dr. Negi has received several awards, including the Science Meritorious Award (2007), the Jeans and Ashit Ganguly Education Scholarship (2007), and the University Teaching Assistantship (2009) from the University of Delhi. She also qualified for the CSIR-JRF in 2007. Dr. Negi was awarded the UGC-BSR Start-Up Research Grant in 2016.
She has also developed 20 modules for e-PG Pathshala, covering topics such as Organic Chemistry-I (Reaction Mechanisms), Organic Spectroscopy, and Disconnection Approach.
Dr. Negi actively promotes green chemistry principles through her YouTube channel, @drbeenanegi, where she shares educational content on green chemistry. She has been a member of University Brochure Highlights 2020 to 2023. She is a life member of ACT, ISCA, CRSI, and ISCB.
