Research fields

The development of organic synthesis reactions and the creation of functional materials using transition metal complexes are my research topics. My research focuses on the following two key areas:

-Synthesis of Fluorinated Functional Organic Compounds
Fluorinated organic compounds are widely used in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional materials due to the unique chemical, physical, and biological properties of fluorine. My research aims to develop cost-effective and practical methods for synthesizing these valuable compounds. Recently, I have also been working on an 'upcycling' approach--rather than simply recycling used hydrofluoroolefins such as refrigerants and propellants, I attempt to transform them into higher-value materials.

- Development of Environmentally Friendly Organic Synthesis Reactions
Organic synthesis typically requires organic solvents and purification steps, leading to high costs and environmental impact. My research focuses on developing catalysts that enable dehydration-type cross-coupling reactions in water. These catalysts are reusable and can be easily removed via simple filtration, contributing to more sustainable organic synthesis processes.
