We focus on four research topics to achieve Green Sustainable Chemistry (GSC): 1. Development of organic reactions in water, 2. Development of polymer-immobilized catalysts, 3. Development of novel reaction methods, and 4. Development of flow synthesis. The guideline "UTokyo Compass" announced that green transformation (GX) as the helicopter hand, the University of Tokyo on September 30, 2021. Therefore, from the efforts of our laboratory for GSC and GX, we created a new concept of "Green Material Conversion" as a starting point for our laboratory. Green Material Conversion is an attempt to achieve GX based on the synthetic organic chemistry. To solve issues such as environmental pollution and resource depletion, our laboratory focused on cutting-edge science and technology based on synthetic organic chemistry and attempted to solve them by all Tokyo University. Researchers in various fields, including science, engineering, pharmaceutical sciences, and agriculture, are conducting research and education on environmentally friendly chemical and material conversion processes, as well as innovative catalysts. We believe our research will contribute to achieving the SDGs and a carbon-neutral society.

  Our research is contributing to the sustainable society in a wide range. The development of environmentally friendly chemical and material conversion processes and innovative catalysts will contribute to a more sustainable society, such as through the development of renewable energy sources, environmentally friendly manufacturing processes, and improved medical technology. In addition, our research is expected to have a significant impact on science and technology both domestically and internationally, and to contribute to the development of diverse and international leaders and researchers in the next generation.
