Synopsis
SCI’s Fine Chemicals Group is pleased to announce a one-day meeting to showcase cutting edge synthetic organic chemistry. The aim of the meeting is to highlight new synthetic approaches, disconnections and methods, and their application as developed by key researchers from both academia and industry. An exciting line up of leading academic and industrial scientists will present a series of lectures covering areas such as photochemical reactions, C–H activation and new catalytic methods.
Attendees
This meeting will appeal to anyone interested in the latest developments in synthetic organic chemistry, both in industry and in academia.
