This symposium, entitled Achieving Efficiency in Organic Reactions via Greener Processes and Practices, focuses on state of the art of efficiency in organic reactions and processes that are designed to have high atom economy, safer processes, and reduced use of energy and resources. In this multidisciplinary Symposium we would like to discuss new powerful synthetic methodologies achieving efficiency in organic synthesis. The topics of this Symposium also involve the use of greener reaction media, such as supercritical carbon dioxide, ionic liquids, and fluorous solvents which can replace the use of volatile and harmful organic solvents. Our Symposium also focuses on new reaction devices for synthesis, such as microreactors and microwave irradiation apparatus, which are poised to make a significant impact on the effective execution of organic reactions and processes. In pursuit of integrated efficiency in synthesis, sequential reactions, which enable us to achieve multi-bond forming processes in one-operation, are also precious. Having an attendance of a wide range of vigorous fields surrounding efficiency in organic reactions and processes, our symposium on advanced organic reactions and processes will provide a unique forum for the discussions of original and significant cutting-edge research that is likely to be of wide general appeal.
We are now planning to invite the experts as speakers of our symposium, which include:

Jun-ichi Yoshida (Kyoto)
Koichi Fukase (Osaka)
Dae Yoon Chi (Sogang U)
Choong Eui Song (Sung Kyun Kwan U)
