Title: Synthesis of tetrahydronaphthyl azole oxime ether, an oxiconazole analogue as an antibacterial agentGuide: Dr. D. Srinivasa ReddyThis project was a learning project as well as a total synthesis one. I did this so as to get a hand on the organic synthesis area. During this project, I learned to put up reactions in organic chemistry and do column chromatography. I also learned to elucidate the structure of organic compounds using 1H NMR and 13C NMR.
