Sethunathasarma Krishnaswami
Sethunathasarma Krishnaswami, Indian geochemist (Thiruvananthaspuram, Kerala State 21 May 1945 – 20 July 2015) Developed innovative and powerful environmental radioactive and radiogenic isotope tracers With H. Craig established 210 Pb-226 Ra radioactive disequilibrium in the deep sea With K.K. Turekian developed U-Th series nuclide applications in aquatic systems Established the accretion rate and growth history of ocean-floor ferromanganese nodules Suggested and demonstrated the use of 210 Pb as a tracer to establish the chronology of lake and near-coastal sediments Used cosmogenic 7 Be and bomb-produced 239 Pb 40 along to 210 Pb to assign ages to various layers in the sediment column Documented that subsurface aqueous systems are best suited to study the reactivity of several important radioisotopes of U-Th decay series Developed a special filter matrix for collection of small quantities of suspended matter from surface and deep waters to understand the role of particles in controlling the distribution of radionuclides and trace elements in the ocean Showed that the concentration of radionuclides 210 Pb and 230 Th increases with depth on particles which enables the estimation of particle settling rates through the sea-water column Showed that manganese nodules grow at different rates on the bottom side facing the sediments and on the top side exposed to sea water LINKS https://www.ias.ac.in/public/Resources/Other_Publications/Patrika/patrika_62.pdf http://www.currentscience.ac.in/Volumes/109/05/0984.pdf
Satinder Vir Kessar
Satinder Vir Kessar, Indian organic chemist (Hoshiarpur 09 June 1932 – Developed highly effective routes for total synthesis of many classes of natural products and compounds of medicinal and structural interest e.g. heterosteroids, steroidal alkaloids and sapogenins, azasteroids and pyridine, isoquinoline, benzazepine, morphinan and quinuclidine nucleus based alkaloids and drugs Synthesized new heterocyclic systems Investigated new thermal routes for generating oxoquinodimethane intermediates such as intramolecular desilysation of arylsulphoxides for benzyne generation (1987-92) Elucidated mechanistic pathways including region diastereo and enantio selectivity of these transformations Developed benzyne cyclisation of haloanils and Lewis acid-promoted lithiation as synthetic procedures Introduced the concept of Lewis acid activation of amines Showed that intramolecular linking of benzyne with aryl rings is possible provided anionic activation is inbuilt into the cyclisation substrate (1973-8) Developed a methodology for elaboration of tertiary amines and nitrogen heterocycles Obtained the photoconversion of a related aminoaldehyde to a 10-membered ring alkaloidal framework (1992) OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS With S.M.
