1. g Open Source Malaria Meeting December 20 th 2013 Location: http://webconf.ucc.usyd.edu.au/osmdec20/ Agenda: http://malaria.ourexperiment.org/uri/48f

2. g Amide Synthesis CRO Route A from 6-chloropyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (1) - Joie Garfunkle

3. g Amide Synthesis CRO Carbonylation Attempts – would allow use of common intermediate

4. 4 Oxidative cyclisation of heteroarylhydrazones  Low yield due to E- selective oxidation with PIDA  Chloramine-T gives cleaner, higher-yielding reaction; 100x cheaper but also E-selective  In-situ isomerisation needed; some precent found but using Pb, Hg, etc ConditionsConv.
