个人简介
Professor Keiichiro Fukumoto was born in Shodo Island, Kagawa prefecture, on February 10,
1934. He graduated from the Pharmaceutical Institute, Osaka University in 1956 and obtained
his Ph.D. degree from Osaka University in 1964, studying the synthesis of isoquinoline alkaloids,
cularine, and related ones, under the guidance of the late Professor Tetsuji Kametani. He was
appointed Assistant Professor of the Pharmaceutical Institute, Tohoku University, in 1959, and
promoted to Associate Professor in 1972 and Full Professor in 1981. In 1997 he retired from
Tohoku University and became Emeritus Professor. From 1964, he spent one year at the
University of Alberta with Professor S. Masamune and one year at the University of Sussex, with
Professor A. I. Scott, as a postdoctoral fellow.
Professor Fukumoto’s research interests have ranged widely over synthetic chemistry; in
developments of novel synthetic methodologies and syntheses of biologically active compounds.
He has synthesized over 200 natural products and published 633 scientific papers. Selected
papers are listed according to categories at the end of this Tribute. I give here a brief description
of his selected research activities. His research career as an organic chemist started in 1955, and
his first project was the synthesis of isoquinoline- and indole alkaloids. He obtained his Ph.D.
with the accomplishment of the total synthesis of cularine, as mentioned above. Until the early
1970s, his main interest was the synthesis of isoquinoline alkaloids by biomimetic approaches
utilizing phenol oxidation, the modified Pschorr reaction, and so on. A number of isoquinoline alkaloids such as the morphine-, aporphine-, proaporphine-, protoberberine-, hasbanan-,
benzophenanthridine-, and sendaverine types, the phenethylisoquinoline type, Erythrina-,
Amaryllidaceae- and Ipecac- alkaloids, were totally synthesized. His books, “The Chemistry of
the Isoquinoline Alkaloids, vols. 1 and 2”, published along with the late Professor Kametani in
1968 and 1974, respectively, contributed tremendously to this field.
