THE HARI GROUP


Revolutionizing Organic Chemistry by Releasing Ring-Strain through Photon and Electrical Energy for the Creation of Valuable Target Molecules.

About Us


The Hari Group is an Organic Synthesis research group led by Dr. Hari at the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore.

Our research group aims to discover and develop novel reaction strategies, which will enable access to versatile reactive intermediates for the mild and sustainable synthesis of useful molecular scaffolds. We are particularly interested in developing innovative new methodologies by harnessing the power of ring strain and the high reactivity of carbenes.

To learn more about who we are, please explore the website. For more information, you can contact DP Hari.
