Japanese Leadership and Expertise in Science of Synthesis: Base-Metal Catalysis
Many Japanese researchers have helped shape Science of Synthesis as editors and authors, contributing their expertise in modern methodology, catalysis, and organometallic chemistry.
Meet Naohiko Yoshikai, editor of the SOS Reference Library project Base-Metal Catalysis, read the chapters on “Nickel-Catalyzed Directed C—H Functionalization”, written by Naoto Chatani, and “Nickel-Catalyzed Nondirected C—H Functionalization” written by Yoshiaki Nakao, and take the chance to watch the webinar recording featuring Lingling Chu, Ming Joo Koh, Zhan Lu, Tatsuhiko Yoshino, chaired by Naohiko Yoshikai. And read, why Shu Kobayashi recommends SOS to researchers and academics, and to graduates and undergraduates studying synthetic organic chemistry.
Strong Japanese Contributions to the Science of Synthesis Project “Base-Metal Catalysis”
Catalysis with earth-abundant metals, often referred to as base metals, is having a transformative impact on synthetic chemistry. The research in this area is driven not only by the common interest in the sustainability of chemical synthesis but also by the vast opportunity to discover and develop novel reaction chemistry that is not attainable with rare and precious metal catalysts.
Naohiko Yoshikai | 吉戒 直彦 教授
Editor of the SOS Reference Library project Base-Metal Catalysis
“Catalysis using earth-abundant transition metals, whether used independently or in conjunction with other catalytic and synthetic domains, continues to revolutionize chemical synthesis. As a collective work of leading chemists, the SOS Reference Library on Base-Metal Catalysis provides an invaluable resource for researchers and practitioners exploring this rapidly expanding field.”
