This lab develops new organic synthesis methods using catalytic reactions.
AboutAbout the lab
Creating new catalytic reactions and new methods of organic synthesis.
The Matsuda Lab studies the development of new reactions using catalysts and new methods for making organic compounds.
Its research spans organometallic chemistry, catalysis, and organic synthesis, with particular interest in synthesizing molecules with physically, structurally, and biologically interesting properties.
The lab develops methods that use transition metals as catalysts to handle unreactive bonds.
Key terms
- Organic synthesis
- Making a target organic compound by combining several chemical reactions
- Catalyst
- A substance that makes a chemical reaction proceed more easily without itself being changed
- Domino reaction
- A reaction in which one reaction is followed by the next, so that multiple changes proceed in succession
ResearchResearch themes
The lab uses reactions catalyzed by transition metals as tools to create new synthetic methods that give valuable compounds concisely and efficiently. It is interested in going beyond the limits of current organic synthesis by handling unreactive bonds, and focuses on three areas: synthesis of aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds, design and development of new domino reactions, and selective organic synthesis using organometallic compounds.
