Akira Yanagisawa received his PhD from Nagoya University. He became an Assistant Professor of Nagoya University and an Associate Professor there. In 2001 he moved to Chiba University as a Full Professor. His research interests focus on the development of new synthetic methods using allylic organometallics such as allylic barium reagents and asymmetric synthesis including chiral phosphine·silver(I) complex-catalyzed asymmetric reactions as well as chiral organotin(IV)-catalyzed asymmetric reactions.
<title>Abstract</title>A catalytic enantioselective aldol reaction of alkenyl esters with α-keto esters was achieved by using an (R)-BINOL-derived chiral tin dibromide possessing 4-t-butylphenyl groups at the 3- and 3′-positions as a chiral precat...
The methods of asymmetric α-hydroxylation of carbonyl compounds and their equivalents, affording optically active α-hydroxy carbonyl compounds, are described here. First, enantioselective α-hydroxylation of preformed metal enolates and silyl enol ...
The demand for functionalized aromatic compounds is growing rapidly in many research fields. Therefore, the efficient synthesis of desired aromatic compounds is a critical issue in organic synthesis. In this account, we describe new synthetic appr...
