Research Abstract |
In order to elucidate the chemical structures of the toxic substances and the biological activities of the harmful phytoplankton, Heterocapsa circularisquama caused mass mortalities of bivalves, e. g. oyster, the spectroscopic analyses of toxic compounds and the chemical degradation reactions were carried out. Also, in order to construct the the partial structure of the toxic compounds, the novel organocatalyst which catalyzed for the enantioselective aldol and Michael reactions and the desymmetrization of symmetric alcohols were developed.
