The worldwide attempts of synthetic organic
chemists to open up new territories and to reclaim the long neglected
ones were highlighted at the fifth IUPAC International Symposium on
Organic Synthesis held in Freiburg i. Br. (FRG) from 27-30 August, 1984.
To pursue the increasingly interdisciplinary goals and activities, the
Symposium organizing committee stressed emphasis on the following four
main themes: modern methodology in organic synthesis, transition metals
in organic synthesis, enzymatic processes in organic synthesis, and
carbohydrates in organic synthesis. Twenty-nine plenary lectures covering
these themes are included in the book originating from the symposium
