Professor Naoya Kanbayashi's research lab specializes in the development of novel transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric transformations and precision polymer synthesis. The lab focuses on designing planar-chiral ruthenium complexes for highly enantioselective allylic functionalization, enabling the synthesis of complex chiral building blocks with multiple stereocenters. In parallel, the group pioneers living cyclocopolymerization techniques to construct well-defined, π-stacked helical polymers with tailored electronic and structural properties, stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding and side-chain interactions. These materials are engineered for potential applications in molecular electronics and functional materials.

An asymmetric allylic substitution with sodium carboxylate using a planar-chiral cyclopentadienyl ruthenium complex has been developed. Optically active allylic esters were prepared in good yields with high regio- and enantioselectivities.
Abstract We report the asymmetric allylic alkylation of allylic chlorides with silyl enolates as a carbon nucleophile using a planar‐chiral cyclopentadienyl‐ruthenium (Cp′Ru) catalyst. The reaction proceeds under unusually mild conditions to give the desired branched products with complete regioselectivity and high enantioselectivity, and reactive functional groups, such as aldehyde, can be tolerated. In this reaction system, Cp′Ru plays an important role in activating both silyl enolate and all
Living cyclocopolymerization through the alternating insertion of an isocyanide and allene into palladium-carbon bond was developed based on the controlling the reactivity of the propagation species using bidentate ligands. We revealed that the rate of the presented cyclocopolymerization was depended on the ligands of Pd-initiator. When the palladium-methyl complexes having appropriate cis-chelating ligand, such as 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp), were used as initiator, the cyclocopoly
π-Stacked polymers, which consist of layered π-electron systems in a polymer, can be expected to be used in molecular electronic devices. However, the construction of a stable π-stacked structure in a polymer is considerably challenging because it requires sophisticated designs and precise synthetic methods. Herein, we present a novel π-stacked architecture based on poly(quinolylene-2,3-methylene) bearing alanine derivatives as the side chain, obtained through the living cyclo-copolymerization o
Molecular design involving the incorporation of an α-amino acid residue into the side chain or main chain of a polymer is often used to stabilize artificial molecular architectures through intramolecular hydrogen bonding. However, this molecular design strategy rarely considers the importance of interactions between substituents at the α-position of amino acid moieties, as found in nature. Herein, we report the synthesis of a novel series of π-stacked helical poly(quinolylene-2,3-methylene) with
Ru zeigt, was es kann: Eine asymmetrische Auto-Tandemreaktion mit einem planar-chiralen Cyclopentadienyl-Ruthenium-Komplex als Katalysator verbindet Allylchloride und α-Halogenamide zu nützlichen diastereomeren- und enantiomerenangereicherten γ-Lactamen mit mehreren Stereozentren. Die Umsetzung verläuft als Eintopfsequenz aus allylischer Amidierung und radikalischer Atomtransfercyclisierung. PG=Schutzgruppe.
A new type of asymmetric polymerization reaction by asymmetric allylic substitution catalyzed by planar-chiral cyclopentadienyl-ruthenium (Cp′Ru) complexes is described. Achiral AB-type monomers, which feature both the allylic chloride and N-alkoxyamide moieties in a single molecule, are smoothly polymerized by the catalysis of chiral ruthenium complexes with quantitative monomer conversion to afford optically active polyamides in good yields. The resulting polymers are characterized by optical

ABSTRACT We, herein, present a novel synthesis of responsive helical poly(aryl isocyanide)s bearing aza‐crown ethers as pendant groups. Chiral aryl isocyanide monomers bearing an aza‐crown ether as a pendant were designed and synthesized, piror to polymerization using a Pd‐Pt µ‐ethynediyl complex as an initiator to give the corresponding polymers in good yield. The resulting polyisocyanides adopted a stable helical structure in solution, as confirmed by circular dichroism spectroscopic analysis.
A new mode of polymerization has been developed that involves the alternating heteroinsertion of isocyanide and allene. Aryl isocyanides that contain both isocyano and allenyl moieties were designed and synthesized. The molecules rapidly polymerized in the presence of [bis(triphenylphosphino)methyl]palladium chloride through the fully alternating insertions of the isocyanide and allene moieties into a palladium–carbon bond to afford novel polymers that contain quinoline backbones. The polymer ch
In this study, we examined novel synthetic methods for optically active polymers bearing various side chains from post-polymerization modification of a single optically active polymer.
A new synthetic approach for optically active polymer-bearing chiral cyclic architecture is described. The polymer is prepared by a combination of asymmetric allylic amidation catalyzed by planar-chiral ruthenium (Cp′Ru) complexes and ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction. We have designed bifunctional monomers bearing allylic chloride and N-alkoxyamide possessing an olefinic moiety, and the resulting polymer provides two olefinic moieties for RCM reactions in each monomer unit. These monomers
The first polymerization system based on the alternating insertion of an isocyanide and alkyne into palladium–carbon bonds has been developed.
The facile synthesis of end-functionalized poly(quinolylene-2,3-methylene)s using aryl palladium initiators conveniently prepared from versatile aryl halides has been reported. When various aryl palladium complexes with 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane, synthesized by the oxidative addition of an aryl halide to Pd(PPh3)4 and the ligand exchange reaction, were used as initiators, cyclocopolymerization of o-allenyl aryl isocyanide afforded poly(quinolylene-2,3-methylene)s with a narrow molecular
