John A. Porco, Jr.
2009 Cope Scholar

This session is to celebrate the achievements of Prof. John A. Porco, Boston University, winner of a 2009 Cope Scholar award for contributions to organic chemistry. It will be held on the afternoon of Friday, June 4th in Kellas 106. Dr. Porco's keynote address will be titled

Complex Natural Product Synthesis and Reaction Discovery:

Research in the Porco laboratory at Boston University is focused in two major areas: the development of new synthetic methodologies for efficient chemical synthesis of complex molecules and synthesis of complex chemical libraries. His research group has synthesized a number of complex natural product targets, including the epoxyquinoids, salicylate enamide macrolides, the rocaglamides, polyprenylated phloroglucinols, and the diazobenzofluorenes. This talk will outline recent examples from the laboratory in which synthetic methodologies have been developed to meet synthetic challenges posed by complex natural product targets.

Sponsorship

This symposium is sponsored by the Organic Division of the ACS.
