Class 1 | 1-1 Manufacturing at the molecular level: Organic synthesis (1) This lecture will introduce the connection between organic synthesis and daily life. 1-2 Manufacturing at the molecular level: Organic synthesis (2) This lecture will introduce the fascination of organic synthesis with the explanations of Nobel prize reactions such as Pd-catalyzed cross couplings (2010), asymmetric hydrogenation/oxidation (2001), and asymmetric organocatalysts (2021). 1-3 Radicals open up new catalysts, reactions, and functions This lecture will introduce our recent achievements on the creation of new catalysts, reactions, and functions by utilization of radicals. 2-1. Planning synthetic strategies and practical retrosynthetic analysis This lecture will introduce the basics of retrosynthetic analysis including synthon, functional group interconversion, latent polarity, umpolung/retron, precursor, and transform. 2-2 Practical reaction developments This lecture will introduce actual examples of reaction developments such as C-C bond formation, oxidation, reduction, and cycloaddition reactions. 2-3 Chiral molecular science revisited This lecture will introduce our studies on "unnatural chiral molecules" especially on chiral silicon molecules and planar chiral heterocyclic molecules, and the principle and examples of a new method "Dynamic Asymmetry Induced Synthesis (DYASIN)" to obtain chiral molecules as optically active materials. | (1)Can explain the characteristics of Pd-catalyzed cross couplings, asymmetric hydrogenation/oxidation, and asymmetric organocatalysts.
