Heterocyclic Chemistry
by Lisa McElwee-White
The 11th Annual Florida Heterocyclic and Synthetic Conference was held 7–10 March 2010 in Gainesville at the University of Florida. Attendees had the opportunity to participate in an excellent program that included 11 plenary lectures, 39 invited lectures, 5 short courses, and a poster session. Short courses were taught by John Joule (University of Manchester) on azines, Ronald Castellano (University of Florida) on non-covalent interactions of aromatics and heterocycles in molecular recognition, Gordon Gribble (Dartmouth College) on the applications of metals in heterocyclic chemistry, Girolamo Cirrincione (University of Palermo) on eight-membered heterocyclic rings, and Victor Zhdankin (University of Minnesota) on hypervalent iodine reagents.
The following scientists delivered plenary lectures:
Michael Collins, CEM Corporation, USA
Amos Smith, University of Pennsylvania, USA
Ciarán McArdle, Henkel AG, Germany
Oleg G. Kulinkovich, Belarusian State University, Belarus
Ronald Breslow, Columbia University, USA
Bernd Giese, University of Basel, Switzerland
Henri Kagan, Université Paris-Sud, France
Bill Murray, Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical R&D, USA
William Roush, Scripps Florida, USA
Richard Houghten, Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies, USA
Malcolm Stevens, University of Nottingham, USA
Over 200 attendees included approximately 55 graduate students and postdocs, along with academic and industrial research chemists from more than 25 countries. Heterocyclic compounds are of particular importance to the pharmaceutical industry and many of the industrial delegates came from this area. The conference attracted a number of commercial exhibitors, including publishers, chemical suppliers, and instrument makers.
Proceeds from the conference are used to support ARKIVOC (Archive for Organic Chemistry), a free peer-reviewed online journal covering all aspects of organic chemistry <www.arkat-usa.org>.
Lisa McElwee-White is a professor of chemistry at the University of Florida and a former titular member of the Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry Division Committee.
