『ファインケミカルズ合成触媒国際シンポジウムC&FC 2001』開催報告
触媒学会・ファインケミカルズ合成触媒研究会と早稲田大学は，2001年（平成13年）3月12日～14日に，早稲田大学国際会議場（東京都新宿区西早稲田1-20-17）において，『ファインケミカルズ合成触媒国際シンポジウム』 (International Symposium on Catalysis and Fine Chemicals，略称C&FC 2001）を共同で開催した（名誉組織委員長：泉 有亮（椙山女学園大学）；組織委員長：今木 直（三菱化学）；総務委員長：尾中 篤（東京大学）；プログラム委員長：清水功雄（早稲田大学）；組織委員：小原義夫（日産化学），中條哲夫（昭和電工），増山芳郎（上智大学），御園生 誠（工学院大学），東尾保彦（広栄化学））．
21世紀初頭のファインケミカルズ合成化学の分野においては，高付加価値の精密化学品の生産や，環境に優しく，生産持続可能な化学品の製造がより強く求められるようになった．すなわち，触媒を用いたファインケミカルズの合成，触媒を用いた反応プロセスの開発，グリーンケミストリーを視野に入れたプロセス開発などを目指した研究がますます重要となってきた．
このような研究要請から，本シンポジウムでは主要テーマとして，
１）固体触媒，錯体触媒，生体触媒を用いた触媒反応の開発，
２）従来の化学量論反応から触媒反応への転換研究，
３）有害物質から安全な物質を使用する合成法への転換，
４）安全にしかも効率的に化学反応が起こる新しい反応媒体の開発，
５）新反応プロセス，新合成反応の開発，
６）グリーンキャタリストを用いた効率的なグリーンケミストリーの実現，
をとりあげ，研究発表を通して産学間の情報交換が活発に行い，互いに刺激を与える場を提供するシンポジウムになるように企画した．
この様な主旨のシンポジウムは，現在ヨーロッパでは定期的に開かれているが，アジア地域では行われていない．そこで，特にアジアの研究者（中国，台湾，韓国）に強く呼びかけ，将来的にはアジア各地で本シンポジウムを継続して開催したいという組織委員会の希望から，今後この分野で各アジア地区の世話役になってもらえると期待される有力な講演者を，招待講演者として選んだ．
本シンポジウムは，プレナリー講演5件，依頼講演11件の招待講演と，60件の応募ポスター研究発表で構成された（プログラムリスト参照）．なお，ポスター発表者には，研究要約を示す３分間の口頭発表もお願いした．
本シンポジウムへの参加者は，総数255名（企業研究者135名，大学・研究機関関係者64名，学生56名）であり，このうち外国（インド（3），オランダ（2），韓国（2），シンガポール（2），台湾（1），中国（4），ドイツ（1），米国（4），ロシア（1））から20名の参加があった．特に外国の参加者は，本シンポジウムで企業関係者が半数以上も占める状況に驚いたようであった．
米国の環境保護局(EPA)のPaul Anastas博士も聴衆としてシンポジウムに参加され，John Warner教授のプレナリー講演の際には，座長の問いかけに聴衆席から答える場面もあった．「グリーンケミストリーの父」と呼ばれる二人を同時にシンポジウム会場に迎えることができたことを組織委員会は非常に喜んでいる．
また，シンポジウム開催の直前に，常陸太田市在住の女子高校生より，高校生でも参加してよいのかとの問い合わせを受けた．以前より本シンポジウム開催のホームページを見て関心を持っていたが，問い合わせることを直前まで躊躇していたとのことであった．組織委員会としては予期もしていない，しかし大変嬉しい問い合わせであったので，彼女をシンポジウムへ無料招待することにした．シンポジウム会場へ現れた高校生は，自分が最も関心をもつ香料化合物の新規合成法に関するポスター研究発表を中心に見て説明を受けていた．初めて体験する国際会議に少し興奮しているようにも見受けられた．インターネットによる広報の重要性を改めて知らされた出来事でもあった．
本シンポジウムが多くの参加者を得て，計画通り順調に進んだことをふまえて，シンポジウム期間中にアジア各国からの参加者と相談した結果，本シンポジウムをアジア地域で継続して行うこととし，次回は2004年に香港でAlbert S. C. Chan教授（香港理工大学）と杉村高志助教授（姫路工業大学，次期ファインケミカルズ合成触媒研究会世話人代表）が組織委員長となって，C&FC 2004を開催することを決定した．
本シンポジウムの開催に当たり，徳山科学技術振興財団，東京コンベンション・ビジターズ ビューロー，触媒学会，早稲田大学より多大な助成を頂けたことも，シンポジウムの成功につながったと考えている．心より御礼申し上げる．
