Journal ArticleDOI
Kappaphycus alvarezii as a source of bioethanol.
Yasmin Khambhaty,Kalpana Mody,Mahesh Ramniklal Gandhi,S. K. Thampy,Pratyush Maiti,Harshad Brahmbhatt,K. Eswaran,Pushpito Kumar Ghosh +7 more
TL;DR: Co-production of ethanol and bio-fertilizer from this seaweed may emerge as a promising alternative to land-based bio-ethanol in near quantitative selectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospects for jatropha methyl ester (biodiesel) in India
Arup Ghosh,Doongar R. Chaudhary,Muppala P. Reddy,S.N. Rao,J. Chikara,J. B. Pandya,Jinalal Shambhubhai Patolia,Mahesh Ramniklal Gandhi,Subbarayappa Adimurthy,N. K. Vaghela,Sandhya Mishra,Meena Rajnikant Rathod,Aruna R. Prakash,Bhupendra Dhanvantrai Shethia,Sumesh Chandra Upadhyay,V. Balakrishna,Ch. Ravi Prakash,Pushpito Kumar Ghosh +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, high quality EN 14214 grade biodiesel production from Jatropha curcas has been demonstrated by us for the first time, leading to a surge of interest worldwide, and large scale cultivation of the plant with high seed productivity is critical to overall success.
Journal ArticleDOI
An alternative method for the regio- and stereoselective bromination of alkenes, alkynes, toluene derivatives and ketones using a bromide/bromate couple
Subbarayappa Adimurthy,Sudip Ghosh,Paresh U. Patoliya,Gadde Ramachandraiah,Manoj K. Agrawal,Mahesh Ramniklal Gandhi,Sumesh Chandra Upadhyay,Pushpito Kumar Ghosh,Brindaban C. Ranu +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a mixture of NaBr and NaBrO3 in two different ratios have been used for highly stereoselective bromination of alkenes and alkynes, and regioselectively bromine substitution at the α-carbon of ketones and at the benzylic position of toluene derivatives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioethanol from Macroalgal Biomass: Utilization of Marine Yeast for Production of the Same
Yasmin Khambhaty,Yasmin Khambhaty,Devang Upadhyay,Yogesh Kriplani,Nidhi Joshi,Kalpana Mody,Mahesh Ramniklal Gandhi +6 more
TL;DR: The ability of this marine yeast to function at high salinity can be commercialized for its use to convert seaweed polysaccharide based hydrolysate, rich in salt, to ethanol without desalting process, ultimately making the process more efficient and economically viable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clean synthesis of crystalline p-nitrobenzyl bromide from p-nitrotoluene with zero organic discharge
Milan Dinda,Manoj K. Agrawal,Mahesh Ramniklal Gandhi,Sumesh Chandra Upadhyay,Subbarayappa Adimurthy,Supratim Chakraborty,Pushpito Kumar Ghosh +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, selective cold crystallization of PNBBr from the reaction mixture containing ca. 2.5 and 2.0 M PNT in ethylene dichloride (EDC) was found to be a winning move which led to gains in two fronts.
