Outline of Final Research Achievements

Our group has found alkylation reactions using a dihydropyridine skeleton based on the combination of a photocatalyst and an organometallic catalyst. However, their reaction mechanisms and key transition states are still need to be clarified. Toward this goal, multiple approaches based on photochemistry and coordination chemistry are required.
In this project, our group applied various methods of photochemistry, coordination chemistry and theoretical studies to illustrate the key transitioin state. As a result, we found that the single electron transfer occurs prior to the radical addition step leading anionic reactivity; the oxidation state of Ni changes I-III during the catalytic cycle. Based on these knowledge, we also succeeded in further application of the reaction system toward other organic synthesis.

有機合成化学

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

新規有機合成反応の開発には、既開発の反応についての詳細な反応機構解析が有用な情報となる。本研究課題では、最近、本研究代表者らが見出した、光触媒と有機金属触媒を共同で用いる反応系について、光化学と金属錯体化学の両面から、その反応機構と遷移状態にアプローチするものである。
その結果、当初は単なるラジカル反応と思われていたプロセスが、実は電子移動を伴ったアニオン製の遷移状態であることや、有機金属触媒として用いたニッケル触媒種の酸化状態を決定することができた。
これらの知見を生かして、他の有機合成反応にも応用できたことで、有用な有機合成手法を開発することができた。
