The lab is a synthetic organic chemistry lab that develops new synthetic reactions using the power of metals.

AboutAbout the lab
Developing new synthetic reactions with the help of metals
Professor Shuichi Oi and Lecturer Shinya Tanaka research the creation of new synthetic reactions with the help of metals.
Professor Oi works on developing organic reactions that use transition metal catalysts, and has succeeded in developing new catalytic organic synthesis reactions and asymmetric synthesis reactions.
Lecturer Tanaka works on developing reactions such as the carboxylation of unsaturated compounds with carbon dioxide.
Professor Oi also applies the reactions he has developed to the development of electronic materials and luminescent materials.
Key terms
- Transition metal catalyst
- A substance that uses a transition metal to make a chemical reaction proceed more easily
- Asymmetric synthesis reaction
- A reaction that selectively makes one of two molecules that are mirror images of each other
- Alkene
- An organic compound in which carbon atoms are joined by a double bond
ResearchResearch themes
Professor Oi and Lecturer Tanaka work on developing new synthetic reactions with the help of metals. Professor Oi's research fields are synthetic organic chemistry, organometallic chemistry, and coordination chemistry.

*Illustrative imageDeveloping Electrophilic Substitution Reactions of Alkenes
Lecturer Tanaka develops new molecular transformation reactions that make use of the properties of main-group metals and transition metals. He works on reactions such as the carboxylation of unsaturated compounds with carbon dioxide, aiming to establish a methodology for the electrophilic substitution of alkenes.
