2005 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, Robert Grubbs, will discuss how the availability of a catalyst that promotes scrambling of the fragments of a carbon-carbon double bond by a metathesis reaction has led to a variety of commercial applications including the production of tough polymers and highly functionalized pharmaceuticals.

Webinar on Ugi Reaction Optimization Available

The webinar I gave for Mettler-Toledo on Sept 23, 2008 is now available here as a Flash presentation. It is 19 minutes and covers the Optimization of the Ugi reaction using parallel synthesis and automated liquid handling. The related paper is currently available from Nature Precedings. (authors: Jean-Claude Bradley, Khalid Mirza, Kevin Owens, Tom Osborne & Antony Williams)

Thanks to Andrew Lang for the slide with the 3D plot showing the reaction yield space.

This is my first time using Camtasia 5 - it lets you zoom into areas of the screen that are under discussion. I think that is pretty handy for screencasts involving web pages, where there can be a lot of small text.
