Heterocyclic Conference
by Thomas Tidwell
The 6th Florida Heterocyclic Conference was held 28 February–2 March 2005 in Gainesville at the University of Florida. The 150 delegates in attendance participated in a varied and rich program including 12 plenary lectures, 11 short lectures, 2 short courses, and an extensive poster session. The short courses were on benzotriazole chemistry—taught by Alan Katritzky (University of Florida)—and organometallic chemistry of heterocycles—taught by Gordon Gribble (Dartmouth University, New Hampshire, USA).
The attendees included many chemists from the industrial sector and from a large number of countries representing five continents. Heterocyclic compounds play a major role in the pharmaceutical industry and in other applications, which accounts for the great interest in the subject. The conference attracted a number of commercial exhibitors, including publishers, chemical suppliers, and instrument makers.
The following scientists gave plenary lectures:
Alois Fürstner, Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung, Germany
Scott Denmark, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL
Paul Reider Amgen, Thousand Oaks, California, USA
Paul Krapcho, Dept. of Chemisty, University of Vermont, USA
Mikael Begtrup, Royal Danish School of Pharmacy, Denmark
Gary Molander, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, USA
Paul Hodgson, Pfizer Ltd., United Kingdom
Margaret Brimble, The University of Auckland, New Zealand
Mitchell deLong, The Procter & Gamble Company, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
John A. Joule, The University of Manchester, United Kingdom
Dale Boger, The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, California, USA
Rama Rao, Avra Laboratories Pvt Ltd., India, USA
Richard Larock, Iowa State Univ., Ames, Iowa, USA
Prof. Thomas Tidwell <ttidwell@chem.utoronto.ca> served as the IUPAC representative at FloHet 6. He is currently a professor at the University of Toronto. Tidwell has been extensively involved in the IUPAC Organic and Biomolecular Division for many years; he is currently the division past president.
