BOS-2002 Balticum Organicum Syntheticum (24-28 June)
Yet again, through the dedication and effort of Victor Snieckus,
the BOS conference attracted some of the world's leading figures in organic chemistry.
The opening lecture was presented by none other than K. Barry Sharpless and the conference
provided an opportunity for researchers from the Baltic States, Europe, Asia, and America to
discuss the most significant developments in organic synthesis.
In addition to providing a forum for well-known researchers, the conference also opened up
a window of opportunity for Estonians, Latvians, and Lithuanians to present their research
on an international stage. This mix of academics and industrial researchers lead to discussions
about collaboration and mutual cooperation across a variety of disciplines and organizations.
 |
Thieme Chemistry played an active role throughout the conference in order to support the outstanding
contribution of our Science of Synthesis and SYNLETT editor Victor Snieckus. As part of our continuing
effort to bring up-to-date information to our colleagues in Eastern Europe we donated volume 12 of Science
of Synthesis, signed by all speakers of the meeting, to Eugenijus Butkus, a member of the local organizing committee, for his team's dedication to the
conference. SYNTHESIS & SYNLETT also presented awards for the best poster contributions. |
 |
As always the Thieme Chemistry meal was a great success and appeared to be enjoyed by all attending.
All of the speakers from the conference were invited, many of whom gave speeches and Prof.
Lukevics (one of our Science of Synthesis authors) even gave a live vocal performance! |
 |
The conference culminated in Mr Valdas Adamkus (The Lithuanian president) awarding
Victor Snieckus the Order of the Lithuanian Grand Duke Gediminas. The award
was presented at an exclusive ceremony attended by members of Victor Snieckus' family,
all speakers of BOS2002 with accompanying persons, and Susanne Haak, managing editor
of SYNTHESIS & SYNLETT. |

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.
Awards for
Steven V. Ley
We would like to congratulate Steven V. 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.
Over 18,000
New Reactions
Added to
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. The volume is 992 pages in length and provides a critical review of methods for the synthesis of ethers.
