| 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 project "typical metal-catalyzed asymmetric synthesis, " was executed by many organic chemists diving into six research groups of "development and application of designer Lewis acid (Yamamoto), " "asymmetric reactions of diketene with aldehydes catalyzed by chiral Schiff base-titanium complexes (Oguni), " "asymmetric synthesis utilizing chiral quaternary salt catalysts and chiral auxiliaries from monoterpenes (Shioiri), " "some new ways of organometallicbased stereocontrol (Suzuki), " "asymmetric intramolecular hydrosilation (Tamao), " and "development of catalytic asymmetric reactions (Nakai)" for three years beginning in 1993. This project was not only create various new asymmetric reactions by taking advantage of characteristics of typical elements, but also to apply many enantio- and diastereoselective reactions to the synthesis of the complex multi-chiral compounds including useful natural products. During 1993-1995, many new asymmetric or stereoselective reactions related to Diels-Alder reaction (Yamamoto), protonation (Yamamoto), addition-ring opening reaction of diketenes with aldehydes (Oguni), aldol reaction (Shioiri), addition of silylacetylenes to carbonyl compounds (Shioiri), 1,2-rearrangement of alkynyl groups (Suzuki), metallo-ene reaction (Suzuki), intramolecular hydrosilation (Tamao), addition of aldehydes with diethylzinc (Nakai), and allylation (Nakai) were developed.
