Vito Ferro 🇮🇹🇦🇺

📢Stay tuned ! More details on the 14th @IUPAC International Conference on Bioorganic Chemistry (#ISBOC14) in Milan are coming soon!! @EuChemS 📌 Add to your calendar: Milan, June 21–24, 2026 👉euchems.eu/events/iupac-1… 👉iupac-isboc14.org/index.php

We are delighted to welcome Prof Vito Ferro from Queensland, Australia as Plenary speaker during ETGG-2025. His research is focused on synthesis of new routes to rare L-sugars and diverse glycans to probe or inhibit carbohydrate-protein interactions involved in disease processes

@SebVidalChem Thanks Sebastien! Benzotrifluoride is the trivial name for a,a,a-trifluorotoluene (how do you do Greek letters on Twitter?).

@VitoFerro8 Benzotrifluoride or trifluorotoluene ? Nice study by the way
