Nominator's project description

Professor Hisashi Yamamoto is well known internationally for his fundamental contributions to the field of organic synthesis and catalysis. He developed a variety of novel Lewis acidic catalysts and new methods for enantioselective C-C bond formation. His research group has elegantly synthesized important natural products. During his stay at the German host institutions he will continue to investigate the effect of the "super silyl group" in cycloadditions and electrophilic additions.
