Osaka Organic Chemical will embark on volume production of a low-toxicity acrylic ester monomer with extremely low skin irritation, it is briefly reported. Principal applications are as a diluent monomer for UV and EB coating materials and inks, and as a modifier in unsaturated polyester resins, acrylic resins and PVC.

Hiroshi Fukumura received his M.Sc and Ph.D. degrees from Tohoku University, Japan. He studied biocompatibility of polymers in the Government Industrial Research Institute of Osaka from 1983 to 1988. He became an assistant professor at Kyoto Institute of Technology in 1988, and then moved to the Department of Applied Physics, Osaka University in 1991, where he worked on the mechanism of laser ablation and laser molecular implantation. Since 1998, he is a professor in the Department of Chemistry at Tohoku University. He received the Award of the Japanese Photochemistry Association in 2000, and the Award for Creative Work from The Chemical Society Japan in 2005. His main research interest is the physical chemistry of organic molecules including polymeric materials studied with various kinds of time-resolved techniques and scanning probe microscopes.

All water used in the analysis is deionized and polished with a Millipore Simplicity system, available from Millipore Corporation, Billerica, MA, USA. Two reagents are used in the sample boats to assist the combustion of organic materials. Additive B is a coarse aluminum oxide. Additive M is a 35 50 combination of calcium hydroxide and sodium carbonate. The additives, specially prepared by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., Osaka, Japan, are available for purchase through NIC. The phosphate buffer in the scrubber vessel was prepared finm a powdered concentrate (Wako). 

Shiba, Tetsuo (p. 222, Plate 43) born in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan in 1924, received his Ph.D. degree at Osaka University in 1959. After having studied at the National Institute of Health, Bethesda, USA, as Visiting Scientist for two and a half years, he returned to Osaka University as Associate Professor in 1962. In 1971 he was appointed Professor, Laboratory of Natural Product Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Osaka University. Here he developed his structural and synthetic studies on biologically active substances (peptides and others). In the meantime, he served as Vice President of the Chemical Society of Japan, and now as a Member of the Science Council of Japan. He successfully planned the Japan Symposia of Peptide Chemistry and the first international Symposium of Peptide Chemistry in Japan as President of the Organizing Committee in 1987. 

Recently, considerable efforts have been made to discover new organocatalytic systems for asymmehic epoxidation. In 2003, A arwal and coworkers reported that the asymmetric epoxidation of olefins proceeded in good yields and with moderate enantioselectivities using Oxone (Wako Chemicals, Osaka, Japan) as an oxidant in the presence of a 48-type catalyst (Scheme 1.22) [261]. According to their proposal, the protonated ammonium salt species can act not only as a phase-transfer catalyst to carry the real oxidant species to the organic phase but also as a promoter to activate the chiral oxidant via hydrogen-bonding stabilization, as depicted in 63.
