Challenges in Catalysis for Pharmaceuticals & Fine Chemicals III
The SCI Fine Chemicals Group and the RSC Applied Catalysis Group are pleased to announce ‘Challenges in Catalysis III’ 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 the same level as ‘Challenges II’! Topics to be covered this time will include the latest development in homogeneous catalysis, including biocatalysis, CH and CX activation, amination and acylation, as well as novel technologies.
