Outline of Final Research Achievements

I synthesized the new asymmetric organocatalysts from valine, natural amino acid, diaminocyclohexane, and aminopyrrolidine, which efficiently work as catalyst for asymmetric Aldol reaction and Michael addition. I developed asymmetric oxidative lactonization using these asymmetric organocatalysts and commercially available asymmetric organocatalysts combined with molecular oxygen, ultimate oxidizing agent, light, clean energy, and iodine catalyst, abundantly produced in Japan, in moderate yield albeit in low asymmetric yields. Moreover, I developed the flow microreactor for aerobic photooxidation. The oxidative lactonization proceeded using the flow microreactor .
