Outline Activities
My research centers on the development of functional chiral organic compounds and metal complexes, especially rare earth metal complexes, and their use in highly selective asymmetric syntheses. I have also investigated mechanisms in their chiral induction and discrimination. Moreover, I have synthesized novel self-organized coordination polymers and novel (chiral) metal complexes immobilized in ionic liquids, and developed environmentally-friendly (asymmetric) reaction systems using the coordination polymers and metal complexes as a catalyst.
As main educational activities, I have the chair of special subjects provided in English, which are mainly targeted to international students in Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences (IGSES). I have also evaluated and supported students in the Kyushu University Program for Leading Graduate Schools "Advanced Graduate Program in Global Strategy for Green Asia", and contributed to various operations, such as writing the annual activity reports, in this program.
Research
Research Interests
  • Development of Environmentally-Friendly Asymmetric Reaction Systems Which Realize Simultaneous Recovery and Reuse of a Chiral Catalyst and Reaction Solvents.
    keyword : Asymmetric Synthesis, Environmentally-Friendly Reaction System, Ionic Liquid
    2008.04We are designing and synthesizing novel chiral self-organized metal complexes, and used as a catalyst for asymmetric reactions under solvent-free conditions. This system would provide green-sustainable tools to solve problems for the large consumptions of organic solvents and metals in asymmetric syntheses..
  • Development of Green-Sustainable Asymmetric Reactions under Solvent-Free Conditions
    keyword : Self-Organized Polymer Catalyst, Solvent-Free Reaction, Asymmetric Synthesis, Green-Sustainable Synthesis
    2007.04~2021.03We are designing and synthesizing novel chiral self-organized metal complexes, and used as a catalyst for asymmetric reactions under solvent-free conditions. This system would provide green-sustainable tools to solve problems for the large consumptions of organic solvents and metals in asymmetric syntheses..
  • Development of Dynamically-Chiral Organic Compounds Displaying High Chiral Induction and Discrimination Abilities
    keyword : Dynamic Chirality, Chiral Ligand, Chiral Probe, BINOL Derivative
    2001.04We are designing and synthesizing novel chiral self-organized metal complexes, and used as a catalyst for asymmetric reactions under solvent-free conditions. This system would provide green-sustainable tools to solve problems for the large consumptions of organic solvents and metals in asymmetric syntheses..
  • Development of and Use for Chiral 3,3'-Disubstituted BINOL Derivatives
    keyword : 3,3'-Disubstituted BINOL Derivatives
    2001.04~2012.03We have designed and synthesized novel 3,3'-disubsutituted BINOLs and their phosphates and used them as a chiral ligand of metal complexes and as a chiral shift agent for NMR mesurement, respectively. The novel chiral compounds were found to have high-levels of chiral inducing and chirality-discrimination abilities, which could not be realized by using BINOL itself and its phosphate having no 3.3'-disubstituents..
  • Development of Chiral Organic Catalysts for Remotely-Enantiocontrol
    keyword : Remotely-Enantiocontrol, Chiral Organic Catalysts, Asymmetric Reaction
    2001.04~2008.03I have synthesized novel chiral (2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidino)pyridines that could work as an effective acyl transfer catalyst in the kinetic resolution of chiral alcohols..
  • Development of Asymmetric Synthesis with Chiral Rare Earth Metal Complex Catalysts
    keyword : Rare Earth Metal Complex, Chiral Catalyst, Asymmetric Synthesis
    1995.04~2012.03I have synthesized novel isolable and storable chiral rare earth metal complexes, and confirmed their high asymmetric catalysis (up to >99% ee) for the enantioselective hetero-Diels-Alder reaction and Michael addition. Furthermore, I found the first example of a remarkably high asymmetric amplification in the metal/chiral ligand 1:3 catalytic system, and explained the mechanism by way of experiment..
