Fundamental Chemistry and Chemistry Education Lab (Toshiaki Suzuki)
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that works on everything from developing chemistry teaching materials to environmentally friendly organic synthesis.
AboutAbout the lab
Creating new reactions from familiar compounds.
In this lab, Professor Toshiaki Suzuki works on developing new chemistry teaching materials and environmentally friendly organic synthesis reactions.
The lab also synthesizes new acid-base indicators, fluorescent compounds, and other substances.
It has also studied how dyes commonly used in demonstration experiments at elementary schools and elsewhere can serve as catalysts for reactions that use oxygen in the air.
In the university's researcher directory, the research keywords are listed as fundamental chemistry, chemistry education, organic chemistry, and green and sustainable chemistry, among others.
Key terms
- Green chemistry
- An approach to chemistry that is environmentally friendly. The lab relies on it as the foundation for developing organic synthesis reactions.
- Aerobic oxidation
- An oxidation reaction that uses oxygen in the air as the oxidant instead of peroxides.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab develops new chemistry teaching materials and environmentally friendly organic synthesis reactions based on green chemistry. Using familiar compounds and demonstration experiment materials as starting points, it has also worked on new chemical transformations that avoid hazardous substances.
Chemistry teaching materials and environmentally friendly organic synthesis
The lab synthesizes and develops chemistry teaching materials and new substances such as acid-base indicators and fluorescent compounds. Guided by the principles of green chemistry, it also works on developing environmentally friendly organic synthesis reactions.
Aerobic oxidation catalyzed by everyday dyes
The lab found that methylene blue, used in demonstration experiments such as the traffic light reaction and the blue bottle reaction, and vitamin B2 act as catalysts for aerobic oxidation. It showed that chemical transformations can be developed without hazardous or dangerous substances such as metals and peroxides.
Catalyst-free and solvent-free synthesis using microwaves
The lab summarized, in one section of a book, a method that uses microwaves to synthesize esters in a short time without any solvent or catalyst. It also reported research on synthesizing sulfonephthaleins and sulfonefluoresceins by microwave irradiation without a catalyst or solvent.
