The Latest Process Chemistry you won't find anywhere else...

Essential Biology for Medicinal Chemists

24 - 25 March 2009, Basel, Switzerland

given by Dr Peter Lowe, Novobio Limited

 

Introduction

Practical Catalysis is a two-day course comprising lectures and problem sessions designed to illustrate how state-of-the-art catalytic methods can be applied to practical issues in small molecule synthesis. The content will focus on problems and targets relevant to pharmaceutical and agrochemical interests. An emphasis will be placed on practical solutions. Topics covered will include: Pd and Cu catalysed C-C and C-X bond forming processes; Rh catalysed conjugate additions; metathesis as a practical tool; catalysis in heterocycle modification and synthesis; emerging areas in catalysis.

 

Who Should Attend?

Process Chemists wishing to maximise their knowledge and understanding of catalysis being applied in organic synthesis

Medicinal Chemists wishing to keep their contemporary synthetic chemistry know-how at the cutting edge

Production Chemists wishing to maintain their awareness of emerging catalytic chemical technologies

Analytical Chemists who wish to gain a broader appreciation of organic chemistry

Chemical Engineers wishing to maintain their awareness of emerging catalytic technologies

Experienced Chemists looking to refresh and/or augment their knowledge of catalytic organic synthesis

Students who are about to enter industry or post-graduate research and can obtain company sponsorship

Young Chemists who have just started work in industry as organic chemists

Managerswho might benefit from an overview of the latest chemical technology available for use in the pharmaceutical, fine chemical and allied industries today
