Synthetic Organic Methods across the Border, SOMAB 2008
The first “hands across the border” of American-Canadian synthetic chemists occurred at the 2004 NERM symposium in Rochester. It received accolades from participants and the ACS and CSC Divisions of Organic Chemistry in general but especially for highlighting the excellent young organic chemists in the upper NY state and Ontario areas.

This symposium continues this theme with a slight geographical shift east. It provides opportunities for selected young and established, American and Canadian synthetic organic chemists to present their recent research in synthetic method development.

SOMAB 2008 includes joint sessions with the NERM2008 Medicinal Chemistry symposium, and with the NERM2008 Green Chemistry symposium on C-H bond activation.
