Synthetic Organic Chemistry

Welcome to the Laboratory of Synthetic Organic Chemistry!

 

In the Laboratory of Synthetic Organic Chemistry, our research is dedicated to developing innovative synthetic methodologies for valuable, trace natural products. To achieve this, we simultaneously focus on the development of the novel chemical reactions required for these syntheses.

Organic synthetic chemistry serves as the foundational technology for drug discovery. For those aspiring to become researchers in this field, it is an essential discipline that we strongly encourage you to master.

 

Research Highlights: 

  • Development of efficient synthetic methods for trace natural organic compounds with potential as drug candidates.
  • Design of cascade reactions capable of forming multiple chemical bonds in a single step.
  • Development of novel reactions promoted by metals or light.
  • Development of clinical diagnostic agents utilizing stable isotopes and synthesis of enzyme inhibitors
