    Renewable energy is a critical source of energy that contributes to energy security, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and emission of greenhouse gases. India would require more than 6.3 billion liters of ethanol to meet its ambitious target of 20 % EBP by 2017. Sweet sorghum is a promising dryland adapted biofuel feedstock that addresses food-versus-fuel issue favourably. Owing to its genetic variability in terms of stalk sugar traits such as total soluble sugars, green stalk yield, juice quantity and grain yield various research institutes in India and abroad have developed superior varieties and hybrids. Two commercial sweet sorghum based distilleries were established in India but could not operate for long for several reasons. The decentralized crushing units were established to overcome the issues encountered by centralized units. The large scale cultivation of sweet sorghum can happen if improved cultivars with higher sugar yield with multiple biotic and abiotic stress tolerance are available besides more importantly the policy support from Government of India in terms of both producer and processor incentives materialize

    299-302The solid state conformation of the monothioketal of azabicyclic ketone has been elucidated using single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The study reveals that the title molecule consists of two six-membered rings fused together in chair-chair conformation and a five membered spiro 1,3-oxathiolane ring in envelope conformation. In the 3-azabicyclononane ring system, the equatorial dispositions of the phenyl groups and the orientations of the oxygen and sulphur atoms in axial and equatorial positions, respectively, are confirmed. The molecular conformation in the solid state is identical to that in solution previously proposed on the basis of spectroscopic studies

    497-503Four N-formyl-cis-2,4-diaryl-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes 5-8 have been prepared and their preferred conformations determined using NMR spectral studies, X-ray crystallography and semiempirical calculations (AM1 and PM3 of MOPAC 6). They all prefer twin-chair conformation with a nearly coplanar N-CHO function with reference to the C2-N3-C4 plane. X-Ray analysis of a single crystal of 6 shows that there are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, the overall conformation being the same in both the molecules of the asymmetric unit. Employing variable temperature NMR studies, the barrier for N-C rotation in the N-formylazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane 6 has been found to be 58.25 kJ/mol
