BMOS conference history and features

The Brazilian Meeting on Organic Synthesis first took place about 30 years ago and was the first attempt to organize the Brazilian Organic Synthetic Community in order to establish a scientific culture and the consolidation of this research branch in Brazil. At that time, just a few groups were devoted to this area and the foundations of organic synthesis grew from there. Since then many prominent researchers around the world have contributed to the BMOS and today it can be considered the most important international event of Latin America on the topic of organic synthesis. The distinguished caliber of the participants and speakers who have attended each meeting attests to the high regard with which this conferences is seen.

Networking platform from national to international level

BMOS became a very strategic mechanism to promote the interaction between Brazilian and foreign researcher groups and many fruitful collaborations have been established. The conference is a prime platform to share one’s experience and to start future collaborations with Brazilians, South Americans as well as researchers from other countries.

Key objective of 15th BMOS

The key objective of 15th BMOS is to put academics in touch with those in the organic synthesis industry and to focus interdisciplinary scientific communication. By this kind of interaction, many traditional as well as new topics of organic synthesis have been introduced and consolidated in Brazil. All topics of organic synthesis are discussed at the BMOS which has been very beneficial in Brazil.

Awards to young researchers

For the first time four young investigators will be given awards. The winners will be selected by a committee, which will include members of the Organic Division of the RSC and from BMOS Organizing Committee. Winners will receive a free registration to the 15th BMOS, a certificate, an invitation to deliver a flash presentation and a contribution towards travel and accommodation to attend the conference.

Conference topics and selected speakers

The most important areas of organic synthesis will be covered at the 15th BMOS, including metalo-, organo-, nano- and biocatalysis, flow reaction, medicinal chemistry, total synthesis, multicomponent reactions, supramolecular chemistry and correlated topics.

This year there will be contributions from Professors Robert H. Grubbs (2005 Nobel Prize Laureate), Lutz Ackermann, A. Stephen K. Hashmi, Dawei Ma, Richmond Sarpong, Deevi Basavaiah, John F. Hartwig, Carlos Roque Duarte Correia, Eiji Yashima, Varinder Aggarwal, Wofgang Kroutil, Liane Rossi, Ian Basendale, Kyoko Nozaki and Tobias Ritter and other selected speakers.

Venue

Campos do Jordão is a very charming and touristic city located on the Paraiba valley, 167 km from São Paulo and 300 km from Rio de Janeiro. Due to its geographic position, the weather is very distinct from other Brazilan cities and it has an almost European feel. The BMOS will be held on “Campos do Jordão Convention Center”, located in a very attractive part of the city, near many hotels and restaurants. The organizing committee hopes you will enjoy the pleasant environment and that you will find it conducive to scientific discussion while enjoying the most Brazil has to offer.
