Emerging Frontiers in Chemical Synthesis Workshop, July 8-11, 2014

加州大学伯克利分校的Richmond Sarpong教授和加州大学洛杉矶分校的Neil Garg教授得到了化学系合成计划的支持，主持了一个研讨会，以刺激非催化有机合成的新研究方向。研讨会汇集了一批老牌和新兴的领导者，以确定当前方法学研究武器库中的不足，确定简化和推进工业过程所需的新化学方法，以及刺激有机合成新方向所需的潜在变革性方法。非催化合成方法广泛应用于精细化学品、农用化学品和药物的合成。工业参与突出了商业经济中与非催化方法相关的实际挑战。为了广泛传播非催化合成方法的重要性，研讨会与在旧金山举行的秋季美国化学学会全国会议(2014年8月10日至13日)相结合，会议的重点是“非催化有机合成的前沿”。此外，讲习班会议记录和结论通过网站和讲习班报告分发给科学界。

Professors, Richmond Sarpong of the University of California, Berkeley, and Neil Garg of the University of California-Los Angeles, are supported by the Synthesis Program in the Division of Chemistry to chair a workshop to stimulate new research directions in non-catalytic organic synthesis. The workshop brings together a diverse group of established and emerging leaders to identify deficiencies in the current research arsenal of methodologies, to identify new chemical methods required for streamlining and advancing industrial processes, and potentially transformative methods needed to stimulate new directions in organic synthesis. Non-catalytic synthetic methods are used extensively in the synthesis of fine chemicals, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Industrial participation underscores the practical challenges associated with non-catalytic methods in the commercial economy. In order to broadly disseminate the importance of non-catalytic synthetic methods, the workshop is coupled with the Fall American Chemical Society National Meeting in San Francisco (Aug. 10-13, 2014) focused on "Frontiers in Non-Catalytic Organic Synthesis." Additionally, the workshop proceedings and conclusions are disseminated to the scientific community through websites and a workshop report.
