He has been the recipient of the Progress Award in Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Japan (1991) and the Chemical Society of Japan Award for Creative Work (2005). His research interests include new synthetic methodologies based on reactive species such as radicals, anions, and organometallic species. He is also keen to greener reaction processes, which involve the utilization of recycling reaction media like ionic liquids and fluorous solvents, and the use of microreactors as a modern reaction device.
