Organic Chemistry Videos
The Division has a number of video projects and collaborations that are available. While a significant number of these videos are available to the public, some are for members only and you will need to be a valid member of the division and logged in to the website in order to view them.
Past Virtual Symposium Videos
The Division of Organic Chemistry, in collaboration NSF Center for Selective C–H Functionalization, hold regularly scheduled virtual symposia. The recordings of these events are available in this video library.
Historic Organic Chemistry Videos
The Division of Organic Chemistry, in collaboration with various organizations and individuals around the world, provides a repository for historic chemistry videos. Many of these videos have been found in old video tape archives and digitized so we can preserve them for current and future chemists to view. Please keep in mind that we have done our best to improve the video and audio quality of these videos!
Eminent Organic Chemist Videos
The Division of Organic Chemistry (ORGN) of the American Chemical Society (ACS) celebrated its 100th birthday in 2008. As part of this celebration, ORGN hosted a Centennial Symposium at the ACS National Meeting in Philadelphia on August 18, 2008. The day before the symposium, with the support of ORGN and its then Chair, Bob Volkmann, Jeffrey I. Seeman of the University of Richmond conducted interviews of the participants and several other eminent chemists. One goal was to reveal the human side of these chemists.
The Division of Organic Chemistry is pleased to provide the following videos to the public free of charge.
Other Notable Chemistry Videos
The Division webmasters have compiled a page of other noteworthy videos from around the web. While these videos are not the product of the Division, they are of likely to be of interest to the diverse membership of the division.
M. Christina White
M. Christina White (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) is studying and developing selective allylic and aliphatic C—H oxidation reactions for general use in organic synthesis. Her group has contributed novel palladium/sulfoxide and iron catalysts that enable the functionalization of C—H bonds with predictable selectivities, under preparative conditions and in complex molecule settings- without the requirement for directing groups. These reactions have provided insights into the physical organic properties of C—H bonds that govern their differential reactivity and have led to strategic advances in synthesis.

Dale Poulter
Dale Poulter (University of Utah) is Editor in Chief of The Journal of Organic Chemistry and a noted researcher. Interested in problems at the interface between organic chemistry and biochemistry, Poulter examines reactions catalyzed by enzymes in the isoprene biosynthetic pathway and structure-function relationships in peptides and proteins. In this research, he isolate genes for the enzymes under investigation and construct plasmids for overexpression of the enzymes, and carries out side-directed mutagenesis on critical amino acids to elucidate their role in catalysis.
David MacMillan
David MacMillan (Princeton) is studying new concepts in synthetic organic chemistry involving organocatalysis, organo-cascade catalysis, metal-mediated catalysis, and total synthesis of natural products and pharmaceuticals. He is also Director of the Merck Center for Catalysis at Princeton University.
Huw Davies
Huw M. L. Davies (Asa Griggs Candler Professor, Emory University) is the Director of the NSF Center In Selective C–H Functionalization (NSF-CCHF). His research program is highly collaborative and emphasizes the development of new enantioselective synthetic methods. His program covers design of chiral catalysts, development of new synthetic methodology, total synthesis of biologically active natural products, and development of chiral therapeutic agents. A major current theme in his group is catalytic asymmetric C–H functionalization by means of rhodium-carbenoid induced C–H insertion.
