Research Summary
Development of novel enantioselective organic transformation is one of the most active research areas in synthetic organic chemistry. Among chiral compounds, we are especially interested in controlling the chirality of “Non-Centro Chiral Compound” by catalytic asymmetric reactions, because these chiral molecules are widely utilized as powerful chiral scaffolds in asymmetric reactions or chiral recognitions. Except for asymmetric synthesis utilizing a transition metal complex mentioned above, following research interests are under investigation in our group.

1) Catalytic Enantioselective Synthesis of “Non-Centro Chiral Compounds” such as planar-, axial-, helical chiral molecules
2) Synthesis of Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) with Non-Planar Structure
3) Asymmetric Synthesis via Catalytic C-H Activation Reactions
4) Molecular Design of Small Organic Molecules Based on Structural Information for a Conformational Constrained Peptide that Binds to Target Protein
