International Symposium on Synthesis and Catalysis 2023 (ISySyCat2023)

International Symposium on Synthesis and Catalysis 2023 (ISySyCat2023)

The event will focus on key topics in contemporary organic, organometallic, polymer synthesis and catalysis, which are of relevance to both academic and industrial chemists alike.

The conference will be organized into 16 plenary lectures (45 min. each), delivered by a series of internationally recognized speakers from academia and industry, 19 short talks (15 min., selected from the submitted abstracts by the scientific committee), 54 flash talks (8 mins, each selected from the submitted abstracts by the scientific committee) and three poster sessions. There will be prizes for the best communications, that will be awarded during the gala dinner on the 7th of September.

Topics

  • Total synthesis.
  • Synthesis in Medicinal chemistry, chemical biology and materials science.
  • New reagents, catalysts, strategies and concepts for organic synthesis.
  • Biocatalysis in synthesis.
  • Organocatalysis.
  • Flow-chemistry approaches to the synthesis of key targets.
  • Applications of organometallic compounds in synthesis and catalysis.
