Prof. Kenichiro Itami, Associate Prof. Junichiro Yamaguchi, Mr. Shin Suzuki (a post-graduate student), and Designated Associate Prof. Yasutomo Segawa at the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (WPI-ITbM), Graduate School of Science at ÅÝܽÊÓƵ, and JST-ERATO Itami Molecular Nanocarbon Project have developed a new approach to synthesize multisubstituted benzenes "at will." The programmed synthesis enables the formation of substituted benzenes selectively; therefore, it provides an answer to one of the most important issues in chemistry development,Ìý¾±.±ð., "the multisubstituted benzene problem," for which an answer has thus far remained elusive.
