Third International Symposium on C-H Activation, 30 May – 2 June 2016, Montreal, Canada

Green Chemistry are delighted to support the Third International Symposium on C-H Activation (ISCHA3), 30 May – 2 June 2016, Montreal, Canada.

The scientific program of the ISCHA3 will consist of 22 keynote lectures presented by scientists working at the forefront of C-H activation. Their perspectives will encompass the fields of synthetic organic, organometallic, materials science and bioorganic chemistry and will create a uniquely diverse setting in which to discuss challenges and opportunities facing the C-H functionalization community.

Find out more about the conference, including abstract submission and registration at the website.

Abstract submission deadline: 15 April 2016
Early bird registration deadline: 15 April 2016

Green Chemistry are pleased to sponsor Christian Bruneau’s Lecture at the meeting. Christian Bruneau (CNRS-University of Rennes, France), Associate Editor of Catalysis Science & Technology, will be presenting his talk “Regioselective Functionalization of Saturated Cyclic Amines Involving sp3C-H Bond Activation and Hydrogen Transfers”. You can find out more about Christian Bruneau’s research at his website and read some of his recent papers below.

Green Solvents Conference, 16 – 19 October 2016, Kiel, Germany

Green Chemistry are pleased to support the 8th Green Solvents Conference which is due to take place on 16th October in Kiel, Germany.

Since its foundation in the year 2002, the “Green Solvents” biennial conference series has been established as a unique platform for the discussion of scientific progress and industrial implementation of advanced fluids in chemical synthesis and processes. Topics include aqueous phases, ionic liquids, supercritical fluids, green organic solvents, liquid polymers, phase-separable reagents and solvent-free processes.

The lecture programme consists of a special Sunday evening lecture, keynote lectures, invited lectures and submitted oral presentations. The poster session plays a key role for the discussion of cutting edge results in the field. Special low rates and support for young scientists and PhD students facilitates their active participation.

Invited Speakers

  • Green solvents in carbohydrate chemistry – María José Hernáiz Gómez-Dégano, Complutense University, Madrid
  • Hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents: design, properties and applications – Maaike Kroon, The Petroleum Institute, Abu Dhabi/UAE; D.J.G.P. van Osch, Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven/NL; L. F. Zubeir, Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven; A. van den Bruinhorst, Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven; M.A.A. Rocha, University of Bremen, Bremen
  • Multiphase catalysis with carbon dioxide – new process opportunities for the selective upgrading of renewable feedstocks – Ulrich Hintermair, University of Bath, Bath
  • Gamma-valerolactone as a renewable solvent for catalysis – Laszlo T. Mika, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Budapest
  • Lewis superacids in ionic liquids – Malgorzata Swadzba-Kwasny, The Queen’s University of Belfast, Belfast

Please note the deadline for Submission of Abstracts is 2nd May 2016.  Please see the webpage for more details.
