The 13th International Electronic Conference on Synthetic Organic Chemistry
From 1 November 2009 to 30 November 2009
http://www.sciforum.net/conf/ecsoc-13/
The ‘EUCHEM Conference on Stereochemistry’, better known as ‘Bürgenstock Conference’, is an outstanding international chemistry meeting of high scientific quality, with an optimal setting for intense inter-disciplinary discussion.
From 1965 to 2008, the venue of the conference was the Bürgenstock-Resort above the lake of Lucerne in Switzerland. This Hotel complex is presently closed for renovation and, since 2009, the meetings have therefore been moved to another beautiful location on the shores of Lake Lucerne: the Seehotel Waldstätterhof Brunnen.
Stereochemistry is the principle underlying our understanding of the processes of life and the properties of matter at the molecular level. It is a key element not only in all chemical disciplines, but also in modern molecular biology, molecular medicine, biophysics, and material design. Accordingly, the ‘Bürgenstock Conference’ has grown over the years into a multi-disciplinary conference where frontier science is being discussed. Lectures cover many areas of chemistry and relevant highlights from neighboring disciplines.
Synopsis
The prudent application of relevant new technologies in medicinal chemistry is one way to increase the quality and efficiency of drug discovery. Everyone working in the pharmaceutical industry is very aware of the need for improved productivity. The cost of R&D continues to grow rapidly while the number of new drugs being brought to the market has dwindled which has led to the recent significant reductions in the in-house research efforts in large pharmaceutical companies. The RSC High Throughput Chemistry and New Technologies Group and SCI's Fine Chemicals Group have organised this one day symposium to highlight recent advances in technology-enabled drug discovery as well as new synthetic technologies with particular relevance to medicinal chemistry. This will be the sixth meeting in this symposium series.
Who should attend?
This conference is aimed at scientists and managers in pharmaceutical, agrochemical and biotechnology companies in addition to students and academics from universities and research institutions.

Welcome to the 13th meeting of the French-American Chemical Society. This symposium will take place in France, in the heart of Alsace, located in the Center of Europe, historically and culturally rich. Throughout all these meetings, the very high calibre of scientific scholarship intended by the founders, Pierre Potier and E. J. Corey has been maintained and this year is no exception.
The first edition of this meeting was held in Paris in 1989 in a friendly and informal ambiance in order to encourage the maximum interaction between the participants of both countries. A number of famous chemists, coming from the US and France, participated and exchanged ideas with great enthusiasm. They appreciated the high quality and interactive nature of this meeting.
Unmistakably, spending this time together in this special environment allows for quality scientific discussions and exchanges, generates new opportunities for collaboration between academics and industry, and gives the chance to interact meaningfully with representatives from national and local chemistry companies. The traditional mix of confirmed and younger scientists from both university and industry environments has been an essential element in the success of this meeting which, hopefully, will continue for many years to come. This year again, we welcome students to participate in this meeting and we have also made a particular effort to facilitate their presence on the Conference site.
FACS XIII will be held under the sponsorship of the new University of Strasbourg (UDS) and the CNRS in Obernai, a charming village on the “wine road” in the heart of Alsace and a stone’s throw from Mont St Odile.
We invite you to come and participate in this special event that is held every other year, which we hope will be rewarded by a memorable and enriching interaction between friends and colleagues, while enhancing your knowledge of organic chemistry.
We wish you all, speakers and attendees alike, a highly stimulating Symposium, both scientifically and personally.
The BOSS-conference is a unique international symposium as, apart from invited lectures delivered by established organic chemists as well as younger rising stars, two prestigious events are associated with it: a lecture delivered by the recipient of the “Janssen Pharmaceutica Prize for Creativity in Organic Synthesis”, and the “Tetrahedron Chair”: a one-day course on a specific topic in organic synthesis by an eminent lecturer. The conference covers a broad range of timely subjects in the field of organic chemistry.
Prof. Manfred T. Reetz (Max Planck, MULHEIM / Ruhr, Germany), has accepted to be chairman of BOSS XII scheduled to take place in Namur (Belgium), July 11-16, 2010, hosted by Prof. Stéphane Vincent (FUNDP Namur, Belgium).
One of the major aims of this series of events, also for this new edition, has always been to give young chemists the possibility to attend a high level conference at a reasonable cost, covering a broad range of timely subjects in the field of organic chemistry instead of only addressing a small group of highly specialized chemists.
The 59th Natural Products Gordon research Conference will maintain its emphasis on cutting edge developments in natural products isolation, structure elucidation, synthesis, methods development, and other areas enabled by organic chemistry. As in the past, natural products continue to provide the inspiration for advancing the field of organic chemistry and drive developments in many areas of science. They provide a platform for developing new synthetic strategies and methodology for the synthesis of complex small molecules, provide small molecule tools enabling discovery biology efforts, and inspire medicinal chemistry efforts. This year’s outstanding lineup of speakers are reflecting the diverse and vibrant frontiers of science inspired by natural products, and will deliver lectures in topics on isolation, structure elucidation, synthesis, development of synthetic methods, chemical biology, and medicinal and process chemistry. Continuing a highly successful trend, the speakers were also selected from geographically diverse locations and represent leading scientists from both academia and industry.
The meeting will be held in a relaxed setting at the Tilton School in Tilton, New Hampshire. The accommodations are comfortable, the staff is friendly, and opportunities abound for exercising, hiking, golf, kayaking, and other leisure activities.
Afternoon poster sessions are an integral part of the conference. They provide an ideal forum for presenting unpublished work and exchange of ideas in an informal setting and have been highly successful in the past years. All conferees are encouraged to submit abstracts (1 page max) with title, authors and affiliation/address to the Chair, Jef K. De Brabander and the 2010 Vice Chair, Karl Hansen via E-mail. Karl Hansen will be responsible for organizing the poster sessions and select a few abstracts for short talk presentation in conjunction with the Chair.
The Chair and Vice-Chair hope to welcome you to what is anticipated to be an exciting, memorable, and enjoyable conference.

This Congress is organised under the auspices of the EuCheMS, the European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences, which has 50 member societies in total representing 150.000 individual chemists; the German Chemical Society (Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker, GDCh) is the host society for the Congress.
Introduction
Applications of late metal catalysed cross-coupling reactions, involving activation of C-X and C-H bonds (X = halogen), are common place in the synthesis of natural products, therapeutic agents, biological probes, and advanced materials.
Cross-coupling reactions can be simplified by removing the need for reactant prefunctionalisation, although historically this has been difficult to achieve selectively. The organometallic chemistry community has worked on this problem for many years (mainly from a mechanistic perspective), with important advances being made. Very recently (over the last five years or so) the organic community has begun to explore the opportunities for this chemistry in terms of synthetic applications. The synthetic community has recently been alerted to emerging, alternative technologies, and it is now clear that C-H functionalisation processes are set to transform modern synthetic chemistry, in some cases eliminating the need for substrate activation protocols.
Themes
The meeting will highlight the importance of catalytic bond activation in cross-coupling chemistry. The latest research will be presented and discussed.
Key topics that will be covered in the discussion meeting include:
Who should attend?
DD12 will bring together the organic, organometallic, and inorganic (coordination chemistry) communities from academia and industry to discuss the current state of the art, the development and future of late metal-catalysed cross-coupling strategies of C-X and C-H bonds.
