Synthetic chemistry at the
cutting edge
Fine Chemicals Group: New
Concepts in Synthesis
Belgrave Square, London, UK, 28 April 2005
 This
one-day meeting will showcase cutting-edge synthetic organic
chemistry presented by international leaders in their field.
The meeting follows on from the successful ‘Chemistry
Sans Frontières’ event held in April 2004.
The programme consists of six academic speakers, showing
some of the diversity of hot research topics within the arena
of synthetic organic chemistry. The opening speaker will be
Prof Richard Taylor speaking on the use of tandem one-pot
reactions, where more than one chemical transformation is
performed in the same reaction medium. Prof Stephen Clark
will outline the use of metal carbenoids for natural product
synthesis and Dr Ben Davis will be covering the area of sugars
and enzymes.
There will be three international speakers; Prof Andreas
Vasella from Zurich highlighting progress towards new types
of oligonucleotide analogues. The construction of axially
chiral biaryls is the topic from Prof Gerhard Bringmann at
Wurzburg in Germany. The final speaker of the day will be
Prof Amir Hoveyda from Boston College; his research involves
the development of methods for catalytic asymmetric olefin
metathesis and the application of this technology. Book
