Within the framework of the Syntax Workshop organized by Prof. Till Opatz, participants from African and European universities came together on August 7-9 to discuss current aspects of green chemistry and modern synthetic methods in the synthesis of natural products and pharmaceutical ingredients. The three-day workshop, offered the participants the opportunity to get detailed insights in state of the art topics like biocatalysis, flow technology, photochemistry and xylochemistry by a remarkable team of lecturers like Roger Sheldon, Charles de Koning, Kennedy Ngwira (all Johannesburg), Hans-Joachim Knölker (Dresden), Oliver Kappe (Graz), Hans-Günther Schmalz (Köln) and Till Opatz (Mainz).
We thank all speakers and participants for the great time!
