Thieme Cheminar: Boron as a linchpin in catalysis
View through CrossRef
Join us for the Thieme Cheminar “Boron as a linchpin in catalysis”
Tuesday, April 14, 2026, 14:00 (CET)
This special online event, brought to you by SYNTHESIS Journal, highlights the key importance of boron chemistry in catalysis. Boron’s unique ability to modulate reactivity, facilitate challenging bond formations, and serve as a versatile platform for catalyst design has elevated it to a central position in modern organic synthesis.
The program will feature outstanding talks from leading researchers in the field:
???? Prof. Hirohisa Ohmiya (Kyoto University, Japan)
???? Prof. Elena Fernández (Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Spain)
???? Prof. James Morken (Boston College, USA)
The session will be chaired by Prof. Martin Oestreich, Editor-in-Chief of SYNTHESIS Journal.
Do not miss this unique opportunity to explore cutting‑edge advances in boron chemistry and engage with the leading voices shaping the future of organic synthesis!
