The Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award Symposium

	Symposium Organizer Matthias Brewer University of Vermont Contact

The Arthur C. Cope Scholar Awards were established in 1984 by the ACS Board of Directors, on recommendation of the ACS Division of Organic Chemistry, under the terms of the will of Arthur C. Cope. The Cope Scholar Awards are supported by income from the Arthur C. Cope Fund, which is administered by the ACS.

The NERM 2008 Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award Symposium is in honor of Professor André B. Charette. Professor Charette is a leader in the field of asymmetric synthesis and the focus of his research is on the development of new chiral reagents and new chiral catalysts for enantioselective transformations. One of the notable contributions he has made to the field of organic synthesis is the “Charette asymmetric cyclopropanation” of allylic alcohols, which is a method often used by others in the synthetic community. Among other achievements, Professor Charette has also developed synthetic methods for the enantioselective preparation of chiral piperidines and chiral amines. The subject of Professor Charette’s talk will be asymmetric catalysis and diorganozinc chemistry.

The goal of this symposium is to highlight synthetic organic methods for both enantioselective transformations and catalytic transformations. All submissions regarding enantioselective synthetic transformations or catalytic transformations are invited, and submissions regarding catalytic asymmetric transformations are particularly welcome.

General information about NERM2008 abstract submission can be found here.

Submit an abstract for this symposium using the ACS OASYS on-line abstract submission system

All abstracts accepted for NERM 2008 will be automatically included into CAS, the ACS Chemical Abstracts Service database after the meeting.
