The Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award Symposium
The NERM 2008 Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award Symposium is in honor of Professor André B. Charette. Professor Charette is a leader in the field of asymmetric synthesis and the focus of his research is on the development of new chiral reagents and new chiral catalysts for enantioselective transformations. One of the notable contributions he has made to the field of organic synthesis is the “Charette asymmetric cyclopropanation” of allylic alcohols, which is a method often used by others in the synthetic community. Among other achievements, Professor Charette has also developed synthetic methods for the enantioselective preparation of chiral piperidines and chiral amines. The subject of Professor Charette’s talk will be asymmetric catalysis and diorganozinc chemistry.

This symposium highlights synthetic organic methods for both enantioselective transformations and catalytic transformations.
