Our research program aims at developing new synthesis methods for
inorganic-organic fine chemicals, for pharmaceutical intermediates,
surfactant chemistry and so on, based on our accumulated synthetic
technology. The proposed methods are selective in such a way that the
corresponding structurally related by-products that could be formed in a
given chemical reaction are not formed in significant amounts. To
achieve this, catalytic technology is explored during the synthesis.
Great efforts have also been put into the design and synthesis of
catalyst to afford efficient and environmental benign chemical
transformations.
