Award for Barry M. Trost
We would like to congratulate Barry M. Trost, Editorial Board Member, Science of Synthesis, on being awarded the Nagoya Gold Medal Prize of Organic Chemistry 2008. The Nagoya Medal Prize (Gold Medal) has been awarded every year since 1995 to an organic chemist who has made significant original contributions to the field, in its broadest sense. The recipient of the Gold Medal 2008, Barry M. Trost, will deliver the Nagoya Medal Award Lecture on October 31, 2008 at Nagoya University in Nagoya, Japan.
The Gold Medal Award Lecture is entitled:
1 "Self Assembly of Dinuclear Main Group Catalysts for Asymmetric Synthesis"
2 "Cycloadditions via TMM-Pd Intermediates: New Strategies for Total Synthesis and Asymmetric Induction"
Award for Eric N. Jacobsen
We would like to congratulate Eric N. Jacobsen, Editorial Board Member, Science of Synthesis, on being awarded the Yamada–Koga Prize 2008 which is awarded every year to a scientist whose research has a major impact in the fields of the synthesis of optically active compounds. The Yamada–Koga Prize will be awarded to Professor Eric N. Jacobsen on November 14, 2008, at the 18th Symposium on Optically Active Compounds held in Tokyo, Japan.
