1. Phase-transfer Catalysis (PTC) Phase transfer catalysis (PTC) is still a highly dynamic and creative field. This methodology has many advantages and has found applications in essentially all fields of organic syntheses and industrial chemistry. http://www.organicworldwide.net/valueadded/ 2. Molecules of the Month (March 2004) Citric acid: Gives citrus fruits their distinctive sour taste and is used as preservative in food (antioxidant properties) Buckminsterfullerene: The famous buckyball, a closed cage structure in which each carbon atom (sp2 hybridised) is bonded to three others. Dimethyl sulfide: Compound with interesting smelling characteristics Eriochrome Black T: An indicator used in water hardness determinations EDTA: A molecule with a 'complex story' http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/MOTM/motm.htm Ciclesonide: a new-generation nonhalogenated glucocorticoid with high local antiinflammatory properties http://www.prous.com/mom/mom.asp 3. Upcoming Organic Synthesis Conferences (April 2004) 9th International Conference on Organic Process Research & Development A new (to be launched in April 2004) and comprehensive database of important synthetic reactions, together with a critical discussion of the reaction and tables that organize all published examples of the topic reactions. http://www3.interscience.wiley.com5. The latest CAS Registry Number and Substance Count The latest information about the CAS Registry numbers, chemical reactions, regulated chemicals, commercially available chemicals and Markush substance information. http://www.cas.org/cgi-bin/regreport.pl |
