BEST PRACTICES IN MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY – WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Have you ever wondered how medicinal chemists work in other companies or in academia? Are there important trends or new technologies that you may have missed?
In the rapidly evolving field of Medicinal Chemistry, there are only few opportunities to share best practices among industry and academic practitioners. We can of course learn from case studies presented at conferences but wouldn’t it be great also to have material covering more general concepts? Following the initiative of Jean Quancard, the EFMC assembled a team of experienced practitioners from industry and academia. We are now addressing this exciting challenge, but we need your help.

NEWS FROM THE BIOLOGICAL AND MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY SECTOR (BMCS) OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CHEMISTRY (RSC)
The BMCS is pleased to announce the call for nominations for the BMCS Hall of Fame & the Capps Green Zomaya Memorial Awards 2020, and some upcoming events.
THIS MONTH’S HIGHLIGHTED MEDCHEMCOMM ARTICLE IS:
“Synthesis of DNA-coupled isoquinolones and pyrrolidines by solid phase ytterbium- and silver-mediated imine chemistry”
Marco Potowski, Verena B. K. Kunig, Florian Losch and Andreas Brunschweiger*
As part of our New Talent collection, Brunschweiger et al. explore metal-mediated imine chemistry for the synthesis of DNA-tagged heterocycles, demonstrating that an encoded chemistry approach allows for the synthesis of DNA-coupled isoquinolones by a Yb(III)-mediated Castagnoli–Cushman reaction under anhydrous reaction conditions.
