活动简介

Now a day, the development not only of highly selective reactions leading to desired compounds but also of advanced organic transformations to minimizing the environmental burdens is highly challenging tasks for organic chemists. Our research interests have been focused on the creation of environmentally benign processes using metal complexes and organic compounds as the designed catalyst molecules by taking advantage of the inherent property of these molecules. Furthermore we apply these advanced molecular transformations to selective and efficient synthesis of useful organic materials or biologically active compounds.

主讲人介绍

Masahiro Terada received his B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D degrees from Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo Metropolis, Japan. He became an assistant professor, Tokyo Institute of Technology since 1997. He joined the Tohoku University in 2001 and was appointed as a Full Professor in 2006. In 1999 and 2005, he was a Visiting Researcher and Associate Professor at the Harvard University and Hokkaido University, respectively. His field of interest includes development of new and useful synthetic methodologies based on the design of novel chiral Brønsted acid and base catalysts, development of novel synthetic reactions using transition metal catalysts, and novel molecular transformations directed toward creation of environmentally benign processes.
