1. 10th Anniversary of Organicworldwide.net In 1996, "Organic Chemistry Resources Worldwide" was launched as the first major portal site for synthetic organic chemists. Nowadays, it is still based on the same principles (intuitive design, independent annotations and audience specific approach), is visited by over 1000 visitors daily and ranks 2 in Google for query "organic chemistry". 2. Molecules of the Month (December 2005) Minoxidil: the active ingredient in hair growth products. Tyramine: a poisonous alkaloid found in the holiday plant mistletoe. Artemisinin: drug used to treat multi-drug resistant strains of falciparum malaria. Phenolphthalein: a sensitive pH indicator; it turns from colorless in acidic solutions to pink in basic solutions. Formic Acid: the poison from ants and stinging nettles. http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/MOTM/motm.htm Rotigaptide: an oligopeptide under clinical investigation for the treatment of arrhythmiasan. http://www.prous.com/molecules/default.asp?ID=140 3. Upcoming Organic Synthesis Conferences (January 2006) International Symposium on Advances in Organic Chemistry Organic Chemistry at the Interface to Biology A free open-access chemistry search engine. Chmoogle's mission is to discover, curate and index all of the public chemical information in the world, and make it available to the public. Catalysed reactions are covered according to their type (hydrogenation, hydroformylation, oxidation, C-C coupling reactions, metathesis, dimerisation, polymerisation etc.). Trends, generalisations, advantages and disadvantages of ionic liquids for specific reaction types are discussed. |
