Introduction

The Organic Division of the RSC is pleased to announce the 21st International Symposium on Synthesis in Organic Chemistry, which will be held at St Catherine's College, Oxford, from Monday 20 to Thursday 23 July 2009.

The symposium is the next in this biennial series.The first meeting was in Oxford in 1969, and since then the meetings have alternated between Oxford and Cambridge. Synthesis in Organic Chemistry provides an international showcase for the core area of organic chemistry - synthesis. The symposium covers all aspects of contemporary organic synthesis and provides a forum for the ever more exciting methodologies and strategies that continue to emerge.

More details on the symposium will be posted on this site in Summer 2008. If you would like to register an interest, please contact us at RSC Conferences.
