Workshop on Ultra-Selective Chemistry and Engineering: Pathways to Fine, Specialty, and Wasteless Chemical Processing, August 26-28, 1999, New Orleans, Louisiana

Andrew Gellman教授将组织一个关于精细化学品和特种化学品生产的多相催化的美国-德国研讨会。 研讨会将于1999年8月26日至28日在新奥尔良举行，在美国化学学会全国会议之后举行。 重点将放在立体，区域和其他选择性要求高的化学转化，在制药，农业化学和生物活性材料行业的重要性。 研讨会将汇集来自德国和美国的约40名学术和工业科学家，讨论超选择性多相催化的挑战，并确定研究和合作发现的机会。 主要重点将放在精细和特种化学品制造的新工艺和催化剂，手性选择性的动力学控制，超选择性工艺的放大，催化和分离的新不对称材料，组合技术以及理论和建模。

Professor Andrew Gellman will organize a USA-Germany workshop on heterogeneous catalysis for fine chemical and speciality chemical production. The workshop will take place on August 26-28, 1999, in New Orleans, following the American Chemical Society national meeting. The focus will be on stereo-, regio-, and other selectivity-demanding chemical transformations that are of importance in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and bioactive material industries. The workshop will bring together approximately 40 academic and industrial scientists from Germany and the USA to discuss the challenges of ultraselective heterogeneous catalysis, and to dientify the opportunities for research and collaborative discovery. Primary emphasis will be placed on novel processes and catalysts for fine and specialty chemical manufacturing, kinetic control of chiral selectivity, scaleup of ultraselective processes, new asymmetric materials for catalysis and separations, combinatorial techniques, and theory and modeling.
