This study will develop unexploited organocatalysts to "observe" molecules, not to "synthesize" molecules.
Based on functions of carbon-carbon double bonds as a catalytic site, biocompatible visible-light gated catalysts were developed, and they enabled bromination of tyrosine. Moreover, biocompatible brominating reagents were developed. We are further trying to utilize them for the development of biomolecular labeling methods.
