The Center for New Directions in Organic Synthesis was created to capitalize on the expertise and vision of the research groups in organic chemistry at the University of California at Berkeley. The faculty members of the Center recognized that their impact could be significantly enhanced with an organizational structure that facilitates interactions and continuing education among their groups and with industrial laboratories. The center's goals are immediate as well as long tem, but its overarching purpose is to enhance graduate training. The Center will provide new opportunities for education and research through exchange between industry and academe on a continuing basis.

The Chemistry Department at Berkeley has long enjoyed the corporate support of industry and hopes to strengthen these relationships for the benefit of both partners. Such relationships must necessarily evolve with time, and the faculty involved in the Center will look to its industrial members to help them refine the programs.
