The ACS Division of Organic Chemistry is pleased to sponsor an Undergraduate Award in Organic Chemistry that is intended to recognize senior students who display a significant aptitude for organic chemistry and to encourage further interest in the field.
Acs Organic Chemistry Guide 2015
Institutions are invited to select a top graduating senior student majoring in either chemistry or biochemistry who has demonstrated excellence in organic chemistry based on a combination of research experience, coursework and a desire to pursue a career in chemistry.
Adapting the Organic Chemistry laboratory curriculum to include the synthesis compounds to be utilized within the Organic Course or in other courses within the Science Dept. Current projects focus on linking three experiments into one sequence. The undergraduate organic chemistry laboratory course has utilized this procedure for several years.
This award is given to a student who is selected by the faculty on the basis of outstanding academic achievement in inorganic chemistry. The award consists of a cash prize and listing on the ACS website.

This endowed fellowship fund was established by Mrs. Dorothy Rosenberg-Passer in 2009 in memory of her husband, Dr. Moses Passer, who received his bachelor of science degree in chemistry from the University of Rochester in 1945 and his doctorate in organic chemistry from Cornell in 1948. After a distinguished career as professor of chemistry at the University of Minnesota Duluth, Dr. Passer became an executive at the American Chemical Society in Washington, DC, and served as director of education at the ACS for more than two decades.
Dr. Conwell, a former faculty member of the Rochester Chemistry Department, first came to the University of Rochester in 1942 to pursue a Ph.D. in physics. She was a pioneering scientist who is most famous for her studies of the properties of semiconductors and organic conductors. Among her many honors, Dr. Conwell received the National Medal of Honor in 2010 for "her broad contributions to understanding electron and hole transport in semiconducting materials, which helped to enable commercial applications of semiconductor and organic electronic devices, and for extending her analysis to studying the electronic properties of DNA." The Conwell fellowship is intended to honor the contributions of graduate students in physical chemistry who have excelled in their graduate careers.
Viktor Krchňák studied chemistry at the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the Masaryk University in Brno, Czechoslovakia. He earned his PhD in organic chemistry from the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in Prague, under the supervision of Prof. Zdenek Arnold. After holding several industrial positions with small biotech companies in the US, he joined the faculty of the University of Notre Dame as a research professor in May 2003.
Russian Journal of Organic Chemistry is an international peer-reviewed journal that covers all aspects of modern organic chemistry including organic synthesis, theoretical organic chemistry, structure and mechanism, and the application of organometallic compounds in organic synthesis. The journal welcomes manuscripts from all countries.

Organic chemistry deals with synthetic methods, reaction mechanisms and kinetics, and uses analytical methods for reaction control and purification such as chromatography (TLC, GC, HPLC), and structure confirmation such as NMR and IR, but also structure determination such as NMR and X-ray crystallography. New fields of organic chemistry for example include organometallic chemistry,which is the study of carbon-based compounds that contain metals, and bioorganic chemistry, which combines organic chemistry and biochemistry.Methods of organic chemistry are used in medicinal chemistry, natural product chemistry, and materials science. In the industry, organic chemistswork in discovery chemistry (making new molecules) and process optimization (finding better synthetic methods for large scale production).
Professor Gillmore has recently returned from a year-long sabbatical at the MSU Bioeconomy Institute and its Organic Energy Storage Lab. He is excited to resume teaching in the organic and general chemistry programs at Hope.
This edition of the Red Book clarifies and updates recommendations concerning the names and formulae of inorganic compounds and reflects major recent developments in inorganic chemistry. Moreover, it presents recommendations fully consistent with the principles of the nomenclature of organic chemistry. In order to choose the most appropriate of the various nomenclature systems described, a flowchart is provided to guide the reader to a section or chapter where rules can be found for a particular type of compound or species. Copious examples are supplemented by an extensive subject index. Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry: IUPAC Recommendations 2005 is the definitive guide for scientists working in academia or industry, for scientific publishers of books, journals and databases, and for organisations requiring internationally approved nomenclature in a legal or regulatory environment.
Concise SummaryA Brief guide to the nomenclature of inorganic chemistry has been published in PAC 87(9-10), pp.1039-1049 (2015). The online version of this article, -2014-0718, offers as supplementary material, a four-sided document readily available for inclusion in textbooks and similar publications.

Roundtable member companies invest heavily in the discovery of new active pharmaceutical ingredients. Key to the success of these efforts are synthetic organic chemists who rapidly develop large libraries of synthetic analogues that are screened for potential activity against a particular disease target. There is an emphasis on the rapid identification of synthetic routes that lead to the isolation of sufficient active ingredient to perform early discovery studies. This emphasis on speed usually results in highly inefficient reaction schemes, isolations and work-ups. By sharing best practices, Roundtable member companies have identified a variety of useful practices to green medicinal chemistry.
The Wang Lab is working at the interface of chemistry, biology, and immunology with a focus on the structures and functions of glycans and glycoproteins. Glycosylation is one of the most ubiquitous posttranslational modifications of proteins in eukaryotes. The covalent attachment of glycans adds a new level of structural and functional diversity of proteins and expands the biological information of an otherwise concise human genome. Students and postdoctoral researchers in the Wang group explore tools and concepts from various fields including synthetic organic chemistry, molecular biology, structural biology and immunology to understand the functional roles of glycans and glycoproteins in biological systems (host-pathogen interactions, symbiosis, and other important biological recognition processes). The group is also interested in translating the knowledge gained from functional and mechanistic studies into the design and development of more efficient therapeutic agents and vaccines against cancer and infectious diseases. 2ff7e9595c
