Cutting-Edge Organic Synthesis and Chemical Biology of Bioactive Molecules

The Shape of Organic Synthesis to Come

Herausgegeben: Kobayashi, Yuichi

Beschreibung

This book describes cutting-edge organic syntheses of biologically active compounds, isolation of pharmaceutically promising compounds from microorganisms, drug design, and progress on chemical biology. Synthetic strategy and tactics are summarized for super-carbon chain compounds, antitumor polycycles, aryl C-glycoside, antimycins, duocarmycins, cannabinoids, and other compounds. Special chapters are devoted to synthesis and biochemistry of fatty acid metabolites, which play a central role in the initiation and resolution of inflammation. The book provides a quick survey of trending topics in organic synthesis and chemical tools for biological investigation, and furnishes ideas for future research in organic synthesis. In addition, the contents can easily be understood by young chemists, graduate students, and those who are looking for new research based on organic chemistry.

Autor

Yuichi KOBAYASHI received Ph.D. from the Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1981. His supervisors were Professors Jiro Tsuji and Fumie Sato at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and Gibert Stork at Columbia University. He is a full Professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology. His research interests include organic synthesis using transition metal catalysts and developments of chiral C-C bond formation. Targets include fatty acid metabolites known as resolvins and leukotrienes, isoprostanes, epi-jasmonates, tetrahydrocannabinoids, cinchona alkaloids, phoslactomycins, etc. The picolinoxy leaving group in allylic substitution has created tertially and quaternary carbons. These achievements have been published in internationally renowned journals such as Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., Org. Lett., Nature, Chem. Eur. J. He has 35 years of teaching experience at the Tokyo Institute of Technology.
