“The principal aspect of my personality is I am enormously optimistic. My motto is fully enjoy whatever I do …︁” This and more about Kyoko Nozaki can be found on page 12160.
1“Highly enantioselective hydroformylation of olefins catalyzed by new phosphine phosphite–rhodium(I) Complexes”: N. Sakai, S. Mano, K. Nozaki, H. Takaya, J. Am. Chem. Soc.1993, 115, 7033–7034. The BINAPHOS ligand is still a benchmark for asymmetric hydroformylation, even 20 years after its discovery.
2“Highly Enantioselective Alternating Copolymerization of Propene with Carbon Monoxide Catalyzed by a Chiral Phosphine–Phosphite Complex of Palladium(II)”: K. Nozaki, N. Sato, H. Takaya, J. Am. Chem. Soc.1995, 117, 9911–9912. This was the first paper I published in the field of polymer synthesis. The signal-to-noise ratio in the 13C NMR spectrum for the polymer with a molecular weight over 10 000 was as high as for a small molecule with a molecular weight of 100.
3“Chiral Bimetallic Boronic Esters: A Donor–Acceptor Coexisting Receptor for Amines”: K. Nozaki, M. Yoshida, H. Takaya, Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn.1996, 69, 2043–2052. My favorite organoboron compound, which shows beautiful allosteric amine binding.
4“Alternating Copolymerization of Vinyl Acetate with Carbon Monoxide”: T. Kochi, A. Nakamura, H. Ida, K. Nozaki, J. Am. Chem. Soc.2007, 129, 7770–7771. The first reported polymer synthesis from vinyl acetate that occurs through a nonradical mechanism.
5“Stereocomplex of Poly(propylene carbonate): Synthesis of Stereogradient Poly(propylene carbonate) by Regio- and Enantioselective Copolymerization of Propylene Oxide with Carbon Dioxide”: K. Nakano, S. Hashimoto, M. Nakamura, T. Kamada, K. Nozaki, Angew. Chem.2011, 123, 4970–4973;
Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.2011, 50, 4868–4871. The first indication that the physical properties of poly(propylene carbonate)s can be controlled by catalytic asymmetric synthesis.
