Development of a novel method for synthesizing pharmaceutical compounds containing fluorine atoms using sequential organic synthesis reactions
Keyword:RESEARCH
OBJECTIVE.
Associate Professor Keiji Mori of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology's Graduate School of Engineering, Department of Applied Chemistry; Professor Akihiko Takayama of Gakushuin University's Department of Chemistry; and Professor Masahiro Yamanaka of Rikkyo University's Department of Chemistry succeeded in the stereoselective synthesis of polycyclic compounds (spiroisochromans) with a trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) by combining carbon-hydrogen bond transformation, which is a difficult chemical reaction to generate, with a basic organic reaction. Their result is expected to open up pathways for supplying new drug candidate compounds that could not be synthesized using previous methods.
