Profile
I am engaged in organometallic chemistry, which is the study of organometallic compounds in which carbon atoms and metal atoms are covalently bonded. In particular, I have been studied on early-transition metals such as zirconium compounds. For example, organic synthesis that utilized zirconocene complexes, olefin polymerization catalysts and synthesis of small metalacyclic alkynes and allenes. Recently I have been investigating more environmentally friendly organic reaction processes using water as a reaction medium in the presence of thermo-responsive polymer micelles.

A molecular editing strategy to construct quinoxalinones from chromones and benzimidazolylidene N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) was developed. The C2 atoms of the chromones were incorporated into the quinoxalinones via ring expansion of the NHCs.

Abstract:
Ruthenium-catalyzed olefin metathesis reactions were conducted in water with thermoresponsiveblock copolymers forming micelles. The block copolymers were prepared by living radicalpolymerization and consisted of a thermo-responsive and ...
