Synopsis

The RSC Applied Catalysis Group and the SCI Fine Chemicals Group are pleased to announce ‘Challenges in Catalysis IV’, returning by popular demand, following highly successful meetings in 2007, 2009 and 2011. Once again, an exciting programme has been assembled to highlight the current challenges and practices of catalytic science in the Pharmaceutical and Fine Chemicals industries. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, registration costs have been kept at as low as possible! Topics to be covered this time will include the latest developments in modelling and mechanism in catalytic processes, non-precious metal catalysis, direct amidation, biocatalysis and organocatalysis.
