Keywords: Organic synthesis, silicon, halogen, catalyst, radical
Organic synthesis is one of the scientific technologies that supports material civilization, and it is used in the production of various products and materials that are beneficial to our lives, such as fuels, oils, fibers, rubber, resins, pharmaceuticals, and food additives. An essential component of organic synthesis is the "reaction," which transforms one molecule into another. In our laboratory, we conduct research with the goal of "developing new reactions that are useful for organic synthesis." In reaction development, we aim to efficiently produce only what we want and to create it in an environmentally friendly manner without waste from readily available raw materials. We also emphasize the originality of our research and chemical discoveries, focusing on the development of novel reactions that have not been seen before, rather than merely improving existing reactions. Various reagents and catalysts are used in organic synthesis, but our laboratory pays particular attention to the reactivity of silicon compounds and halides, as well as the catalytic effects of platinum and palladium. With the aim of making new discoveries, we engage in reaction development with excitement every day.
