• Oxidative Coupling to Construct Biaryl Compounds

Our group develops oxidative coupling methodologies of 2-aminonaphthalenes, naphthols, and related scaffolds to access biaryl compounds such as BINAM, NOBIN, and BINOL derivatives. These strategies have been further extended to the synthesis of dibenzo[c,g]carbazoles and a variety of related fused aromatic frameworks, providing new opportunities in the construction of axially chiral molecules.

•  Photophysical properties and Applications of Fuzed Compounds

We investigate the photophysical properties of newly synthesized dibenzo[c,g]carbazole derivatives and explore their application as organic electronic materials, including OLEDs, sensors, and functional organic materials. This research aims to uncover their potential as next-generation organic optoelectronic materials.

• High-Throughput Experimentation (HTE) in Reaction Development

Our group actively employ High-Throughput Experimentation (HTE) techniques in organic synthesis. By leveraging parallel experimentation, we accelerate ligand development, reaction optimization, and novel reaction discovery, ultimately contributing to data-driven approaches to reaction development.
