Synthesis of Complex Biologically Active Molecules
Complex biologically active molecules have traditionally attracted the attention of synthetic chemists because they provide a showcase for new synthetic methodology, raise the necessity for analogs for biological studies, or simply present compelling synthetic challenges. This symposium will feature new technologies that enable the preparation of complex molecules as well as syntheses of specific molecular targets. Presentations from both academic and industrial research will provide an opportunity to compare the interests and strategies in these settings.
