Outline Activities
In March 2001, KT got his bachelor degree from Department of Chemistry, School of Science, Osaka University. In March 2007, he got his Ph.D. from Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science, Osaka University under the supervision of Prof. Michio Murata. After working as a postdoc in Osaka University (April to September, 2007) and in the University of Tokyo (October 2007 to February 2010, from April 2009 to February 2010, he has been a Research Fellow of JSPS), he started his academic career in Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Shizuoka, as a research assistant professor in March 2010. On 16th November, 2010, he moved to Department of Chemistry, Graduate Faculty of Science, Kyushu University, as a tenured assistant professor.

S.; Oishi, T.; Torikai, K.*, Simple Apparatus for Adding Small Amounts of Powder Materials under an Inert Atmosphere, Synlett, 10.1055/s-0039-1690689, 30, 2058-2061, 2019.10, [URL], Addition of reactants under an inert atmosphere is a fundamental but extremely important technique in synthetic chemistry. Although this is achievable in many cases by using a glove box or a Schlenk-and-syringe technique, the direct addition of powder (solid) materials without contamination by air or moisture has been difficult, especially in the later stages of a reaction. Here, we offer a simple and small apparatus to realize powder addition with easy handling. Use of this apparatus permitted one-pot glycosylation reactions that required extremely dry conditions to be performed in a highly reproducible manner.. |

Lett., 10.1021/acs.orglett.9b00220, 21, 1221-1225, 2019.01, [URL], The use of 2-O-alkoxymethyl groups as effective stereodirecting substituents for the construction of 1,2-trans glycosidic linkages is reported. The observed stereoselectivity arises from the intramolecular formation of a five-membered cyclic architecture between the 2-O-alkoxymethyl substituent and the oxocarbenium ion, which provides the expected facial selectivity. Furthermore, the observed stereocontrol and the extremely high reactivity of 2-O-alkoxymethyl-protected donors allowed developing a one-pot sequential glycosylation strategy that should become a powerful tool for the assembly of oligosaccharides.. |
