Current Research

In the field of organic synthesis, in particular asymmetric C-C bond forming reaction, it is very important topic to develop heterogeneous catalyst possessing high activity and long lifetime. To achieve this purpose, we investigate chiral ligand modified metal nanoparticle, so-called chiral metal nanoparticle catalysts and efficient reaction system using them.
