Annual Brown Organic Chemistry Lectures
begin March 24
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – New developments in chemistry will be discussed during the 18th annual Herbert C. Brown Lecture Series in Organic Chemistry on Saturday, March 24, and Tuesday, March 27, at Purdue University.
The series, "Organic Chemistry in the 21st Century," features five lectures by internationally recognized researchers in organic chemistry. All lectures are free and open to the public. Reservations are required for the $10 lunch and $25 banquet.
Four of the presentations will be 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 24, in Stewart Center, Room 214. There will be a break for lunch and a closing banquet.
The final lecture will be at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 27, in Wetherill Chemistry Building, Room 104.
The lecture series was established in 1984 to honor Purdue Nobel Laureate Herbert C. Brown and to provide a forum for Purdue faculty and students interested in current organic chemistry topics. Organic chemistry focuses on carbon-containing compounds and mixtures.
Brown is internationally recognized for his contributions to the field of synthetic organic chemistry. He was awarded the 1979 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work in hydroboration and organoboranes. As an emeritus faculty member at Purdue, Brown continues his research and maintains an office at the university.
