Spring ACS 2003, New Orleans

This year Thieme Chemistry was fortunate enough to be able to exhibit, once again, at the spring session of the ACS Annual Meeting. The ACS meeting was located in New Orleans and drew 15,142 people. As usual, Thieme was exhibiting its entire range of products both in print and electronic format. This biannual event is still among the most important meetings for chemists working in all areas of chemistry with attendees from both industry and academia.

Alex Williams demonstrating Thieme's range of electronic products.

Due to the huge size of this event both Alex Williams and Thomas Krimmer were able to give presentations to many potential customers. All of our electronic products were on display but many enquiries demonstrated a particular interest in Science of Synthesis and Pharmaceutical Substances. Fiona Shortt de Hernandez also took the opportunity to give a lecture to approximately fifty members of the chemical information community at this auspicious event.

This occasion provided us with an opportunity to meet and discuss our program with both prospective customers and our contributors. On Monday evening Thieme hosted a dinner for 20 of our editors and authors, which took place in Arnaud’s restaurant in the French Quarter.

f.l.t.r.: Maria de Graca H. Vincente (Vol. 17 author), Kevin Smith (Vol. 17 author), Fiona Shortt de Hernandez (Managing Editor), Don Matteson (Vol. 6 Volume Editor), Vic Cesare (Vol. 21 author), and Leigh Murray (Production Coordinator).

Ley, Editorial Board Member, Science of Synthesis, on receiving the Prous Institute-Overton and Meyer Award for New Technologies in Drug Discovery, European Federation of Medicinal Chemistry, Vienna (2008) and the Hans Heroff Inhoffen Medal, Helmholtz Zentrum für Infectionsforschung (2008).

Professor
John Colin Tatlow
(1923–2008)

We are very sorry to announce that Professor John Colin Tatlow passed away in the UK on April 9th, 2008. Professor Tatlow was the Editor-in-Chief of the E10 Organo-Fluorine Compounds (Houben–Weyl) series and made a major contribution to fluorine chemistry during his career. He was the recipient of the American Chemical Society Award for Creative Work in Fluorine Chemistry in 1990. We would like to extend our sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Science of Synthesis
Version 3.5
New York/Stuttgart – Thieme is pleased to announce that Science of Synthesis Version 3.5 is now available. The electronic information resource now contains 34 volumes, out of what will eventually be a total of 48 volumes. This upgraded version has a total of 195,000 reactions, with over 18,000 new reactions, and holds significant synthetic methods for a wide range of classes of compounds. The newly added content consists of volumes 29 and 31

Volume Publication

Science of Synthesis
Volume 37
We are very pleased to announce the publication of Science of Synthesis Volume 37 [Compounds with One Saturated Carbon¾Heteroatom Bond: Ethers] by Craig J. Forsyth and Eric N. Jacobsen in May 2008.
