Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the present study, we developed new radical cascade reactions that feature environmentally-benign catalytic chemical transformations with high energy efficiency to produce polycyclic organic molecules. In addition, we devised synthetic routes to bioactive natural products based on the radical cascade reactions; 1) the formal total synthesis of antiviral marine natural product hamigeran B was accomplished by a visible-light-mediated radical cascade transformation; 2) a new means for accessing a hydroxybenzofuran from an alkynylquinone under quinone-hydroquinone organic redox conditions was developed, enabling the total synthesis of liphagal, a natural PI3kα inhibitor.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

我々は、医薬資源天然物の人工合成に欠かせない化学反応プロセスの低環境負荷・省エネルギー化に向けた研究を行った。その結果、可視光照射によって連続的に進行する化学反応や生体内酸化還元過程を模倣した化学反応を開発し、これらの反応を組み込んだ医薬資源天然物の新しい合成方法を確立することができた。本成果は、創薬・化学産業をはじめ、有機物質の創製に関わる広い分野の発展に寄与することが期待される。
