On August 9-11, 2011, BIT's 2nd Annual World Congress of Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis-2011 was held successfully in Beijing, China.
As the keynote speakers, Dr. Iwao Ojima, Distinguished Professor, Stony Brook University, USA; Dr. P. Andrew. Evans, Professor, University of Liverpool, UK; Dr. Mark Lautens, Professor, University of Toronto, Canada; Dr. Leonard R. MacGillivray, Professor, University of Iowa, USA made excellent presentations and warmly discussed with the audiences at keynote forum.
Totally, there were more than 150 participants from more than 28 countries and areas have attended the WCCAS-2011. Participants from academic, industrial professionals and key-decision makers delivered the new achievement on their research, together discussed and analysis the development. The separate session covered Novel Technologies for Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis ; Organometallic Chiral Catalysts in Asymmetric Transformations; Enantioselective/ Diastereoselective Organocatalysis ; Applications of Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis; Biocatalysis for Asymmetric Transformations…
WCCAS-2011 greatly contributed to the promotion of new concepts for the development of efficient methodologies for catalytic asymmetric synthesis and its practical applications. The topics reflected and placed emphasis on aspects that are common to all areas of catalytic asymmetric synthesis.
Depending on the warmly support and good suggestions from all of the participants, we are confident in organizing WCCAS-2012 which would be better and more successful than WCCAS-2011. |
