The 15th Annual Florida Heterocyclic and Synthetic Conference took place at the University of Florida in Gainesville, 2-5 March 2014. The theme of the conference was catalysis in organic chemistry. This was reflected in the course, Pd-catalyzed Cross-coupling Reactions: From Fundamental Steps to Catalytic Cycles, given by Bert Maes, University of Antwerp, Belgium. Eleven plenary lectures, four short courses, and 50 invited lectures were delivered. Towards the end of the conference a Hot Topics in Catalysis Session was led by Professors Beller and Maes. There was a poster session that attracted 60 posters and a small exposition at which publishers, chemical manufacturers, and scientific instrument companies exhibited. Two hundred delegates from over thirty countries attended the conference.

The plenary lectures were given by: Mathias Beller, University of Rostock, Germany, Catalysis: A Key Technology for Sustainable Synthesis; Carolyn R. Bertozzi, UC Berkeley, USA, In vivo Chemistry; Jonathan Clayden, University of Manchester, UK, Asymmetric Arylation and Vinylation of Carbanions; Peter J. Dunn, Pfizer, UK, Green Heterocyclic Chemistry; Paul Feldman, GlaxoSmithKline, USA, Organic Chemistry Aiding Medicinal Chemistry Advances; Stephen Hanessian, University of Montreal, PQ, Canada, Exploring the Unique Reactivities of Heterobicyclic Tetrazoles – Access to Functionally Diverse and Versatile Heterocyclics Scaffolds; Sebastien Lemaire, Janssen Pharmaceutica, Belgium, Stereoselective C-Glycosylation Reactions with Arylzinc Reagents; Erik J. Sorensen, Princeton University, USA, Taking Risks in Complex Synthesis Design; Jim Thomas, University of Manchester, UK, Approaches to the Synthesis of Some Biologically Active Compounds; M. Christina White, University of Illinois, USA, Site Selective C-H Oxidation; Tony Wood, Worldwide Medicinal Chemistry, Pfizer, USA, Heterocycles and Medicinal Chemistry: The importance of Innovative Synthesis.

Invited lectures were given by: H. Amri (Tunisia), M. Azam (Saudi Arabia), R. Bavantula (India), P. Belmonte (France), E. Biehl (USA), U. Braendli (Switzerland), K. Campos (USA), A. Campbell (USA), J. Christensen (Denmark), C. Chung (USA), F. Cossio (Spain), N. Downer-Riley (Jamaica), G. Dudley (USA), P. Erhardt (USA), S. Florio (Italy), M. Francisco (USA), R. Hanes (USA), F.

The next Florida Heterocyclic and Synthetic Conference, FloHet-2015, will take place at the University of Florida, Gainesville, March 1-4, 2015. The Katritzky Memorial Lecture will be given by Albert Padwa, Emory University, USA. Plenary lecturers will include, Huw Davies, Emory University, USA; Veronique Gouverneur, Oxford University, UK; Timothy Jamison, MIT, USA; Peter Maienfisch, Syngenta, Switzerland; Christel Menet, Galapagos, Belgium; Tobias Ritter, Harvard University, USA; Paul Scola, BMS, USA; Jay Siegel, Tianjin University, PRC; Oliver Thiel, Amgen, USA; Yoshinori Yamamoto, Tohoku University, Japan. The short course entitled: Selective Direct Fluorination Strategies: Batch and Flow will be given by Graham Sandford, University of Durham, UK.
