Erick Carreira is the Thieme-IUPAC prizewinner 2002
 |
| Thieme Publishers and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) are pleased
to announce that Erick Carreira was awarded the Thieme-IUPAC Prize 2002 in recognition of his outstanding
achievements in the field of synthetic organic chemistry. His research focuses on the asymmetric synthesis of
biologically active, stereochemically complex, natural products, and has resulted in | the highly lauded syntheses
of challenging target molecules and the development of catalytic and stoichiometric reagents for asymmetric
stereocontrol using an approach that is both innovative and elegant. He was presented the prize at
ICOS-14
in Christchurch, New Zealand on 16 July, 2002.

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.
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.
