| Toward a nature-inspired, dual-catalytic method to dehydrogenate hydrocarbons
Erik Sorensen, Princeton University, USA |
| Selectivity in Metal-Catalyzed C–H Activation
Lutz Ackermann, Georg August-Universität Göttingen, Germany |
| Direct Transformation of Benzyl Alcohols and Their Ethers
Zhangjie Shi, Peking University |

Organic Chemistry Frontiers is glad to sponsor two poster prizes at the 7th Pacific Symposium on Radical Chemistry (PSRC-7) to be held in Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, from 15 – 18 July 2015. The PSRC takes place every two years, and is recognized as being one of the three major international meetings on radical chemistry (the other two being the International Symposium on Organic Free Radicals and the EUCHEM Conference on Free Radical Chemistry). The PSRC-7 follows the successful series of PSRC symposiums held in Vancouver (2013), Shirahama (2011), Shanghai (2009), Heron Island (2007), Daejeon (2006), and Kanazawa (2003).
The symposium will cover all aspects of free radical chemistry and will bring together industrial and academic chemists from all over the world to discuss the latest advances in synthetic radical reactions, radical polymerizations, mechanistic insights into important radical reactions, new radical-based functional molecules and materials, and radicals in biology.
Take your opportunity to attend PSRC-7 by the registration deadline at 15 June 2015. More information is available at http://conference.ntu.edu.sg/psrc7/Pages/index.aspx.
Organic Chemistry Frontiers sponsored the undergraduate context session of 44th National Organic Chemistry Symposium. The detailed information of the conference as below:
The Executive Committee of the Division of Organic Chemistry of the American Chemical Society and the Department of Chemistry at the University of Maryland are pleased to announce an exciting speaker line-up at the 44th National Organic Chemistry Symposium. This biennial event will be held from Sunday, June 28 to Thursday, July 2, 2015 on the campus of the University of Maryland at College Park. For attendees who wish to enjoy the July 4th celebrations in our nation’s capital on the Saturday after the NOS, the conference venue is about 45 minutes from downtown Washington DC by Metro and campus housing is available for after the conference.
