Acknowledgment
This thesis arose in part out of years of research that has been done since I came to Prof.
Anamik Shah’s group. By that time, I have worked with a great number of people whose
contribution in assorted ways to the research and the making of the thesis deserved special
mention. It is a pleasure to convey my gratitude to them all in my humble acknowledgment.
In the first place I would like to record my gratitude to Prof. ANAMIK SHAH for his
supervision, advice, and guidance from the very early stage of this research as well as giving me
extraordinary experiences through out the work. Above all and the most needed, he provided
me unflinching encouragement and support in various ways. His truly scientific intuition has
made him as a constant oasis of ideas and passions in science, which has exceptionally, inspire
and enrich my growth as a student, a researcher and a scientist want to be. I am indebted to
him for more than he knows.
I gratefully acknowledge My Co-Supervisor Prof. ERIK VAN DER EYCKEN Laboratory
for Organic & Microwave-Assisted Chemistry (LOMAC), Department of Chemistry,
University of Leuven (K.U.Leuven), Belgium, for his advice, supervision, and crucial
contribution, which made him a backbone of this research and so to this thesis. His
involvement with his originality has triggered and nourished my intellectual maturity that I
will benefit from, for a long time to come. Erik, I am grateful in every possible way and hope
to keep up our collaboration in the future.
I am very thankful to the faculties of Department of Chemistry namely, Professor and Head
Dr. P.H. Parasaniya, Prof. V. H. Shah, Dr. H. S. Joshi, Dr. Shipra Baluja, Dr. M. K. Shah,
Dr. Yogesh Naliapara, Dr.U.C.Bhoya and Dr. R. C. Khunt for their encouragement and ever
green support.
The Department of Chemistry and LOMAC has provided the support and equipment I have
needed to produce and complete my thesis and the UGC and Erasmus Mundus has funded my
studies. Many Thanks.
