| Research Abstract |
Asymmetric synthesis has developed rapidly and extensively, and is now growing into a new way of producing optically active chiral compounds that is more general and efficient than enzymatic reactions in many cases. The aim of this project "asymmetric synthesis of chiral molecules", which was executed by 62 organic chemists dividing into four research groups of asymmetric space, typical metal catalyst, transition metal catalyst and asymmetric total synthesis for three years beginning in 1993, was not only create various new asymmetric reactions by taking advantage of characteristics of typical and transition elements, but also to apply many enantio- and diastereoselective reactions to the synthesis of complex multi-chiral compounds including useful natural products.
During 1993-1995, many new asymmetric reactions related to Diels-Alder, ene, aldol, nitroaldol, Michael, alkylation, protonationa and hydrosilylation reactions were developed, and many syntheses of complex natural products were also completed. This report is a compilation of typical results achieved by all the project members, and will assist the promotion of new research of not only the project members but many other organic chemists.
