The goal of this biennial event is to present a roster of distinguished speakers that represent the breadth and creative advances of organic chemistry worldwide. The first National Organic Chemistry Symposium was held December 1925 in Rochester NY under the auspices of the Rochester Section of the Division of Organic Chemistry. Subsequent meetings were held every two years until WWII. The symposia resumed in 1947 in Boston and have been held biennially since. The National Organic Chemistry Symposium is the premier event sponsored by the Division of Organic Chemistry.
