Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Aldehyde

Satoru Masamune mostly deals with Organic chemistry, Stereochemistry, Aldol reaction, Thiol and Catalysis. His study in Aliphatic compound, Organic synthesis, Trimethylsilyl, Acylation and Reagent falls under the purview of Organic chemistry. Many of his research projects under Stereochemistry are closely connected to 6-deoxyerythronolide B with 6-deoxyerythronolide B, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

His Aldol reaction research incorporates themes from Benzaldehyde and Aldol condensation. His Thiol study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Lactone synthesis and Tert butyl. The various areas that he examines in his Catalysis study include Glycine, Medicinal chemistry and Boranes.

His most cited work include:

  • Macrolides. Recent progress in chemistry and biochemistry. (189 citations)
  • Synthesis of bryostatin 7 (186 citations)
  • C‐Acylation under Virtually Neutral Conditions (179 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Satoru Masamune mainly focuses on Organic chemistry, Medicinal chemistry, Stereochemistry, Aldol reaction and Combinatorial chemistry. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Amino acid and Organic chemistry. Satoru Masamune works mostly in the field of Medicinal chemistry, limiting it down to topics relating to Butane and, in certain cases, Tert butyl, as a part of the same area of interest.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Crystallography and Tylosin in addition to Stereochemistry. Satoru Masamune has included themes like Enantioselective synthesis, Boron and Aldol condensation in his Aldol reaction study. His Organic synthesis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Aliphatic compound and BORO.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Organic chemistry (30.97%)
  • Medicinal chemistry (25.81%)
  • Stereochemistry (24.52%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1990-2010)?

  • Organic chemistry (30.97%)
  • Aldol reaction (14.19%)
  • Boron (4.52%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Satoru Masamune mainly investigates Organic chemistry, Aldol reaction, Boron, Combinatorial chemistry and Alkylation. His Organic chemistry study frequently links to other fields, such as Amino acid. Satoru Masamune has researched Aldol reaction in several fields, including Medicinal chemistry, Addition reaction and Aldol condensation.

His study on Substituent is often connected to Alpha as part of broader study in Medicinal chemistry. His Alkylation research integrates issues from Natural product and Stereochemistry. His Stereochemistry research includes elements of Peptide bond, Cleavage and Nucleophile.

Between 1990 and 2010, his most popular works were:

  • An improved, convenient procedure for reduction of amino acids to aminoalcohols: Use of NaBH4-H2SO4 (149 citations)
  • New catalysts for the asymmetric aldol reaction: chiral boranes prepared from .alpha.,.alpha.-disubstituted glycine arenesulfonamides (122 citations)
  • The catalytic asymmetric aldol reaction of aldehydes with unsubstituted and monosubstituted silyl ketene acetals: formation of anti-β-hydroxy-α-methyl esters (73 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Aldehyde

His primary areas of investigation include Organic chemistry, Aldol reaction, Medicinal chemistry, Aldol condensation and Boron. His research in Organic chemistry is mostly concerned with Reagent. His study on Aldol reaction is covered under Catalysis.

His study in Medicinal chemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Phosphonate, Glycine and Ether. The study incorporates disciplines such as Benzaldehyde, Ketene and Silylation in addition to Aldol condensation. His biological study deals with issues like Tedanolide, which deal with fields such as Selectivity.
