Description/Focus and Content: Sulfur, present in 25% of major brand name drugs and a substantial percentage of agrochemicals, plays a key role in organic synthesis, biochemistry, and material, environmental and marine science. For example, both dimethylsulfoniopropionate and dimethyl sulfide play central roles in oceanic sulfur cycles and global climate regulation. Furthermore, organosulfur compounds have found numerous novel applications as synthetic intermediates in organic synthesis, as exemplified by extended Pummerer chemistry and catalytic C-S bond formation/activation. In addition, organosulfur compounds are useful as bioactive molecules such as signaling and defensive agents and functional materials such as hole-transporting oligothiophenes. Many new researchers have been expanding these organosulfur frontiers, analogous to the Gold Rush.
Along these lines, this symposium will focus on: (1) new methods for preparing useful organosulfur compounds; (2) advances in applications of organosulfur compounds in organic synthesis; (3) breakthroughs in understanding functions of organosulfur compounds in biological and environmental systems and in organic electronics. Since Pacific Rim country scientists have authored numerous recent papers on organosulfur chemistry, it is timely to bring these researchers together to highlight and summarize state of the art methods and just-published advances.
