Heterocyclic Chemistry
The International Congresses of Heterocyclic Chemistry are major scientific events that have been organized in different cities in America, Europe and Asia since 1967. They attract attendees from all over the world from both industry and academia. And they are fascinating because they cover the entire range of heterocyclic chemistry—from theory to practical applications.
The 20th International Congress of Heterocyclic Chemistry will continue the same tradition, offering a scientific program dealing with the latest developments in new methods in heterocyclic chemistry, biologically active heterocycles (both pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals), heterocyclic natural products and analogues, and heterocycles in synthesis, presented by leading international experts. Oral contributions will be encouraged to allow established colleagues as well as young researchers to discuss their latest results and achievements. There is also the potential to present contributed papers in three poster sessions.
Beside the scientific aspects of the program, the attendees will have the chance to appreciate one of the most fascinating spots of the Mediterranean region. Palermo, capital of Sicily, is a lively and colorful town, where millenarian history and contemporary life converge to make the city one of the most intriguing tourist destinations in the world.
The deadline for submission of contributed papers is 1 April 2005.

Heterocyclic Chemistry
by Irina P. Beletskaya
The XXI European Colloquium on Heterocyclic Chemistry (ECHC) was held 12–15 September 2004 in Sopron, Hungary. The conference, which was organized by the Chemical Research Center of Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Hungarian Chemical Society, drew over 300 participants, including 100 young chemists from 24 countries. The program included 12 invited lectures and 180 posters, of which 12 were selected for oral presentation. The conference chairman Gyorgy Hajos and co-chairman Peter Matyus helped create a highly organized event with a very creative and friendly atmosphere.
The chemistry of heterocyclic compounds comprises a very broad field as is clearly seen from this partial list of invited lectures:
F. Diederich (Switzerland), “Heterocycles in the design of nonpeptidic enzyme inhibitors”
I.P. Beletskaya (Russia), “Transition metal catalysis in heterocyclic chemistry”
J. Alvarez-Builla (Spain), “Pd-reactions in charged heterocyclic species”
G. Keglevich (Hungary), “P-Heterocyclic chemistry”
l K.R. Seddon (Ireland), “Heterocyclic cations for ionic liquids”
J.A. Gladysz (Germany), “Design of molecular devises (“rotors”, “gyroscopes”) using alkene and alkyne metathesis reactions”
I.E. Marco (Belgium), “Tandem pericyclic reactions of 2-pyrone derivatives”
J.M. Bakke (Norway), “Synthesis of nitropyridines using N2O5/SO2”
N. Haider (Austria), “Cycloaddition routes to condensed carbazoles”
P.J. Dunn (Pfizer), “The history of the discovery of Viagra and other PDE 5 inhibitors”
K. Hideg (Hungary), “The chemistry and biology of heterocyclic nitroxide radicals”
S. Florio (Italy), “Utilization of oxiranyllithiums in various interesting asymmetric syntheses”
The conference demonstrated that innovative methods of modern chemistry (new synthetic methodologies, new reaction media, novel catalytic methods, metal-catalyzed and metal-mediated processes, new physical methods of activation [microwave, for instance]) are widely used in the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds. The potential of this chemistry for the synthesis of new and useful compounds is truly inexhaustible.
The next Heterocyclic Colloquium will be held in Italy in 2006.
