Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project spotlighted the catalyst development to find out chemical reactions that proceed only in water or that show unique selectivity in water. In addition, the challenges covered merging biocatalysts and artificial catalysts, and establishing a new approach in computational and analytical chemistry to overcome the difficulties in performing mechanistic study of heterogeneous reactions where substrates were insoluble. Consequently, a large number of reactions have been discovered so far, including unpublished data, where water is a sine qua non as a reaction medium. Meanwhile, the findings obtained from mechanistic studies led to improvements of reaction conditions. These achievements will accelerate the global recognition of “organic chemistry using water as a reaction medium” as a new organic chemistry distinct from conventional organic chemistry.
