The intention of this conference is to stimulate fresh thinking and creative ideas in synthetic chemistry and in areas of chemical biology. The symposium will highlight the latest advances in synthetic organic chemistry and its applications in cognate areas of materials and biology. Key topics include:

• Stereoselective synthesis
• Synthesis and property of functional molecules
• Total synthesis of natural products
• New reagents, catalysts, strategies and concepts for organic synthesis
• Bioorganic chemistry and medicinal chemistry
• Molecular recognition
• Organic materials
