III.2 . Close coordination with IUPAC Sub-Committee on Organic Synthesis:
Prof. D. St. Black,
Chair
Completion Date: 2000
- Project Completed
Objective:
The main objective is to promote and disseminate awareness for environmentally
compatible synthetic pathways and chemical processes (green chemistry),
throughout the academic and industrial scientific research community.
Description:
There is a large portion of the chemistry community that is still
unfamiliar with principles, methods and definitions of green chemistry.
Such reference will be the "container" in which the Working Party,
in collaboration with the IUPAC Sub-Committee on Organic Synthesis,
will insert the Symposium-in-Print as its "scientific core", and
is to be published as a special topic issue of the Journal of Pure
and Applied Chemistry.
The Symposium-in-Print will be composed by about 30
brief reviews of selected aspects of the author's research. The
aim of the articles will be to highlight aspects of relevant chemistry
so as to raise the awareness of the field and stimulate increased
activity by a wide range of chemists.
Progress:
The following scientists have accepted to contribute to the Symposium-in-Print:
Angelo Albini (University
of Pavia - Italy)
Masakazu Anpo (Osaka Prefecture
University - Japan)
James Clark (University of York - UK)
Terrence Collins (Carnegie Mellon University - USA)
Joseph De Simone (University of North Carolina - USA)
Jan B.F.N. Engberts (University of Groningen - The Netherlands)
Monika Herrchen ((IUCT - University of Munchen - Germany)
Karlheinz Hill (Henkel - Dusseldorf - Germany)
Wolfang F. Holderlich ( RWTH - Germany)
Steve Howdle (University of Nottingham - UK)
Shu Kobayashi (University of Tokyo - Japan)
Mieczyslaw Makosza (Polish Academy of Science - Poland)
Makoto Misono (Kogakuin University - Japan)
John A. Murphy (University of Strathclyde - UK)
Ugo Romano (Enichem - Italy)
Kenneth R. Seddon (The Queen's University of Belfast - Northern

Bernard Witholt (ETH - Switzerland)
Project completed - Special
topic issue on Green Chemistry published in Pure Appl. Chem.,
72(7), 1207-1403 (2000).
