RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Research Assistant, Northeastern Illinois University, Chicago 2012-2015

Development of process based on a literature study for deferent steps of synthesis of the Ranolazine N-(2,6- dimethylphenyl)-4-[2-hydroxy-3-(2-methoxyphenoxy)propyl]-1-piperazineacetamide to get high yield and purity.

Identification of this synthesized active pharmaceutical ingredient and it intermediate using NMR,GC-MS, HPLC, and IR.

Development and validation of chiral liquid chromatographic method for the enantiomeric separation of racemic Ranolazine on cellulose based column using polar organic method.

Research Assistant, Dhar mahraz Fez University, Morocco 2002-2008

Synthesis and characterization of unatural α-Heterocyclic α-amino acids, 2-amino alcohols and α,α-diamino esters.

Reduced the complexity of the synthetic process (steps; lower chemical expense; mild reaction conditions) and dramatically increased yields.
