The Division of Organic Chemistry congratulates the following 4 graduate students who are the 2013-14 DOC Fellows. Three excellent students are also recognized for their achievements; we were unable to award them fellowships because they won an NSF fellowship for the 2013-14 academic year. However, we have granted each of them a travel award to …
ACS GCI Pharmaceutical Roundtable’s Medicinal Chemistry group is seeking to fund a one year R&D program targeting the identification and development of alternatives to the commonly employed stoichiometric hydride-based reagents or transition-metal catalyzed silane reductions, with a focus on substrates that are widely applicable to the pharmaceutical industry. Proposals are invited from public and private …
We thank all of those who attended and contributed to the recent National Organic Symposium at the University of Washington, which was a terrific hit.

The Organic Division of the American Chemical Society seeks to increase the involvement of bachelor’s and master’s-level chemists in Divisional activities. These chemists make important contributions in the workplace but often receive only limited recognition from the scientific community. In 1992, the Organic Division instituted an annual symposium at the Fall ACS meeting to recognize …
