The Future of Heterocyclic Chemistry through New Bond Formation

The synthesis of heterocyclic compounds is at the core of advancements in the preparation of complex molecules for applications including cross couplings, photochemistry, and new bond formations including carbon-carbon, carbon-nitrogen, halogenations, sulfonylations, and phosphorylations. The challenges associated with the synthesis and diversification of heterocyclic compounds serve as a driving force for the development of new chemical methods that provide access to industrially relevant chemical space.

Heterocyclic Compounds Graduate Research Seminar (GRS) will bring together trainees (graduate students and postdocs) to present their work in a collaborative environment and build a network with their peers. Academic and industry experts in the field of organic synthesis will serve as discussion leaders and mentors. And, the seminar will provide an opportunity for young scientists to gain valuable early career advice from established scientific leaders.

Preference will be given to attendees that also submit poster and/or oral presentation abstracts. Oral presentations will be selected from the submitted abstracts. Attendees are also encouraged to apply to the corresponding Heterocyclic Compounds GRC.
