| Research Abstract |
The research project was focused on how we could control and alter the reactivity of alcohols as electrophile(R^+-^OH) nucleophile(R^+-^OH) using new molecular catalyses in organic synthesis. Importance of a new concept“molecular surface"in those catalyses was newly introduced and validated during the project. Overall, we demonstrated that molecular surface consisting of special element and bond alignment as represented by RO(δ-)-M(δ+)-X(δ-)-H(δ+) is important to achieve otherwise difficult catalysis under near neutral pH conditions.
