AboutAbout the lab
Making the target molecule in few steps
The Hosokawa Lab studies the total synthesis of bioactive compounds and the development of new reactions.
The lab works to establish synthetic routes with few steps so that target compounds can be made quickly.
It is also developing new reactions that construct complex target structures all at once in a single reaction.
Key terms
- Total synthesis
- A chemical method of artificially building up a complex naturally occurring compound step by step from simple substances.
- Bioactive compound
- A substance with properties that affect the functions of living organisms.
- Short-step synthesis
- A synthetic approach that builds the target compound with as few reactions as possible.
