Our laboratory focuses on the development of innovative and environmentally friendly chemical and material conversion processes. We develop homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts, as well as continuous flow science technologies and equipment, based on synthetic organic chemistry. From these, we attempt to innovate in fine chemical synthesis, such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, semiconductor materials, and high-performance chemicals, by utilizing biomass, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and other resources to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. We conduct education and research across science, engineering, pharmaceutical sciences, and agriculture. We will advance research and development to achieve green material conversion and realize the SDGs and a carbon-neutral society.
Our laboratory promotes research based on the following six topics as the central pillars with cooperation each other.
・Organic reactions explored in water
・Development of highly stereoselective catalysts in organic synthesis
・Novel heterogeneous catalysts
・Development of new methodologies for organic reactions
・Continuous Flow Chemistry for Fine Chemical Synthesis
・Synthesis of bioactive compounds
You can access more details of each topic from the left tab menu.
