Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we have designed an organic solvent-soluble tungstate monomer. The tungstate monomer could act as an efficient catalyst for N-silylation of indoles. By using the tungstate monomer as the precursor, we have successfully synthesized various kinds of lacunary polyoxometalate-based molecular catalysts. They exhibited the high catalytic performance for acylation of alcohols and dehydration of primary amides to nitriles. Furthermore, several high performance solid catalysts could be developed through immobilization or heterogenization of the molecular catalysts.
