abstract: This is to extend a cordinal invitation to attend the 4th EuCheMS Conference on NITROGEN LIGANDS in COORDINATION CHEMISTRY, METAL-ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, BIOINORGANIC CHEMISTRY & HOMOGENEOUS CATALYSIS, which will be held in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (Germany) between August 24 and August 28, 2008.

abstract: Ziel des Kurses ist es, den Teilnehmern das Gebiet der Organokatalyse, also der Katalyse mit metallfreien niedermolekularen organischen Verbindungen, näherzubringen. Behandelt werden nicht asymmetrische und insbesondere asymmetrische organokatalytische Reaktionen und deren Mechanismen. Außerdem werden praktische Aspekte berücksichtigt, unter anderem Anwendungen von Organokatalysatoren in der Industrie und in der Naturstoffsynthese sowie polymergebundene Organokatalysatoren. Schließlich sollen die Vor- und Nachteile der Organokatalyse im Vergleich mit alternativen Methoden wie der Biokatalyse und der Metallkatalyse diskutiert werden. Schwerpunkte sind: - Grundlagen der Organokatalyse - Mechanismen organokatalytischer Reaktionen - Praktische Reaktionsführung - Industrielle Anwendungen - Lewisbasen- und Lewissäurekatalysatoren - Brønstedbasen- und Brønstedsäurekatalysatoren - Asymmetrische Organokatalyse - Organokatalyse für die Medizinische Chemie - Organokatalyse in der Naturstoffsynt

abstract: The organizers welcome university and industry researchers working in the broad field of catalysis to attend the symposium. Special focus will be put on environmental catalysis and catalysis for sustainable energy solutions.

abstract: This course, given by Professor Victor Snieckus, provides the background, modern literature and the conceptual framework for transition metal catalysed cross-coupling reactions in aromatic/heteroaromatic synthetic chemistry. This course is aimed at research and development and production chemists in fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, colour chemicals, flavour and fragrance and intermediate industries.

abstract: Stereochemistry remains a key component of organic synthesis, and the challenges of asymmetric synthesis continue to provide a fertile ground for new discoveries and inventions in stereocontrol. The conference will include new chemistry ranging from diastereoselective methodology, through enantioselective organometallic processes to asymmetric organocatalysis, and to applications in synthesis. Chair: Phil Page ( University of East Anglia ) Plenary Speakers: Andreas Pfaltz ( University of Basel ) Barry Lygo ( University of Nottingham ) Dan Comins ( North Carolina State University ) Edwin Vedejs ( University of Michigan ) Huw Davies ( The State University of New York, Buffalo ) Jim Cook ( University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee ) Karl Anker Jorgensen ( Aarhus University ) Marco Ciufolini ( University of British Columbia )

abstract: Recent Developments and Future Perspectives in Spectroscopy of Working Catalysts, Applications of in-situ Spectroscopy

abstract: Hype or reality? Much has been made of developments in catalysis in organic chemistry, including asymmetric catalysis, organocatalysis and biocatalysis. This new Scientific Update event aims to bring together industrial chemists and academics, to learn about emerging catalytic methods and their industrial application. Featuring top speakers from academia and industry, and aligned with the Biofine exhibition, this event will provide industrial chemists with an unparalleled opportunity to explore how catalysis is beginning to change the landscape of process chemistry.
