2:00-5:00 Microwaves in Organic and Combinatorial Synthesis: Principles and Applications
Co-sponsored by the American Chemical Society and Cambridge Healthtech Institute

Who Should Attend
Vice Presidents, Directors, Research Scientists in Combinatorial Chemistry, Natural Product Chemistry, Discovery Chemistry and Medicinal Chemistry

How You'll Benefit from This Course
This half-day workshop will focus on understanding how microwave chemistry can be successfully applied to organic synthesis and combinatorial chemistry programs. The attendee will become familiar with the theory and concepts behind microwave synthesis and will learn about the capabilities of all major kinds of commercially available microwave reactors. An extensive literature survey with several case studies from major pharmaceutical and academic laboratories using a wide variety of techniques (solid phase synthesis, fluorous technologies, parallel, sequential and continuous flow processing) will be covered in the course.

The Instructor
Dr. C. Oliver Kappe, Associate Professor of Chemistry, Karl-Franzens-University
