AboutAbout the lab
Refining organic synthesis methods to take on the synthesis of natural products
The Reaction Control Chemistry Lab (Doi Lab) studies the synthesis of organic compounds at the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Tohoku University.
The lab works on the total synthesis of biologically active natural organic compounds.
It also develops efficient methods for preparing natural product derivatives, as well as methods for asymmetric synthesis.
The lab also works on methods for constructing heterocycles and on the synthesis of molecular probes.
Key terms
- total synthesis
- A method of building a natural compound with a complex structure from scratch, starting from simple raw materials and repeating chemical reactions
- asymmetric synthesis
- A synthetic method that selectively produces only the desired one of a pair of molecules that are mirror images of each other, like a right hand and a left hand
- heterocycle
- A ring-shaped structure that contains atoms other than carbon, such as nitrogen or oxygen, in the ring
