THIRD UKRAINIAN REPUBLIC CONFERENCE ON ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
The Third Ukrainian Republic Conference on Organic Chemistry was held from
13 to 17 Nov 1953 in Kiev at the Institute of Organic Chemistry, Academy of
Sciences Ukrainian SSR. The conference was attended by chemists from Kiev,
Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Moscow, Lvov, Odessa, Uzh~orod, and other cities.
Because of the large number of reports to be presented, the fo]lowing two sec-
tions were organized in addition to the plenary sessions: (lj a section an
organic synthesis, and (2) n section on dyestuffs and color properties. Tventy-
nine reports were presented at nine meetings. The conference passed the fol-
lowing Resolution of the Third UE?sainian Republic Conference on Organf.c Chem-
istry.
The Third Ukrainian Republic Conference on Organic Chemistry notes that the
decision of the September plenum of the Central Committee CPSU on measures to
further the development of agriculture in tt:e USSR, and the decision of tt:e Cr_n-
tral Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers USSR aiming at the
adllevement of a sharn_ risr 9n nRr+....,~?_.,

The conference revealed that at the research establishments and at the chairs
of organic chemistry of higher educational institutions at various Ulcrc-nian
cities, especially Kiev, Kharkov, Lvov, Dnepropetrovsk, Rub_2hnoye, and Uzhgerou,
scientific research is being conducted. along lines ,losely connected with present-
day practical requirements. However the conference notes that the development of
scientific research in the f_ ld of organic chemistry in the Ukraine still does not
correspond fully to the problems put before the organic chemists by the decisions
of the 19th Congress of the CPSU, and the decrees issued by the Party and the Gov-
ernment.

The conference on organic chemistry notes that:
1. Coordination of scientific research being done at the chairs of
higher educational institutions and at the scientific research establishments
is lacking in the UYsaine.
2. Work on high-molecular compounds (plastics, synthetic fibers, crude
rub~rn tibeen developed inwthetUkra ne~orpersonnelnforaworkrin these fields
is not being prepared at the higher educational institutions of the Ukraine.
3? Work on the utilization of cyclic compounds derived from ccal tar
has not been sufficiently developed.
4. In spite of the fact that a laboratory of elrcmatic Compounds has been
created within the Institute of Organic Chemistry Ukrainian SSR, and that the
work of this laboratory deals with such important problems as the search for
new insectofungicides, the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences Ukrainian SSR
did not provide the laboratory with the necessary housing facilities and person-
nel.
5? The chairs of organic chemistry at higk;er educational, institutions are
not sufficiently well-provided witi~ modern laboratory equipmert. This inter-
feres with conducting scientific research on a high level.
4lith the aim of e;cpending the work of Ulu?ainian organic chemists along the
lines stipulated by the Fii'th Session oi' the Supreme Soviet USSR, the September
plenum of the CPSU, the October rlenum of the Ukrainian Cotrmiunist Party, and
the subsequent decrees of the Central ^ommittee of tha CPSU and the Council of
Ministers USSR, the Third Ukrainian Republic Conference on Organic Chemistry
considers it necessary to:
1. Pose the question of creating a center in the Ukraine for coordinat-
ing work in organic chemistry.
2. Assure development in the Ukraine of work on high-molecular com-
pounds by taking the following steps:
s. Create at either one or two Ukrainian higher educa.tioral institu-
tions chairs on plastics and on ,ynthetic fibers.
b. Ask the Presidium of the .",cade~y of Sciences Ukrainian SSR to de-
cide the question of creating a laboratory of high-molecular compounds at the
Institute of Organic Chemistry, Academy of Sciences U)rainian SSR during the
current 5-year period.
.5? view as the for?most problem of Ulcrairinn organic chemists the develop-
ment of a large number of effective insectofungicides in the near future for the
fight against plant nests, with the ;:tu-pose of rendering the quickest aid in the
task oi' sharply increasing agricultural yields. For this purpose it is es-
sential to take the follcwing steps;
a. Recommend to the chairs of higher educational institutions that they
include in the research plans for 1951+-1:55 problems dealing with the chemical
means for figh?ing plant pests and also problems dealing with plant growth sub-
stances and organic fertilizers.
b. Ask the Presidium of the Acadergy of Sciences Ukrainian SSR to take
Aromatic~Compoundsr Instituteiof its decisions on providing the Laboratory r?
fan SSR, with the necess ~g`~'ic Chemistry, Academy of Sciences
ary housing facilities and personnel, thus assurina8in-
development of the work done by this laboratory.

~. Develop scientific research work on the study of organic raw materials
found in the Ukraine and on the broad industrial utilization of products con-
tained in coal and lignite tars, as well as in natural and industrial gases and
in petroleum.
Ask the Ministry of Ferrous Metallurgy USSR to restore to a fu_1.1 extent the
work done earlier in this field at the Coal Chemistry Institute in Kharkov.
5., Develop on a broader scale work on the complex purification of waste
waters from Ukrainian factories.
6? Draw the attention of Ukrainian organic chemists to the necessity of
studying the by-products of the agricult,u~al and wood industries.
7? Continue work on the development of Butlerov's rcaterialistic theory
of structure in the light of modern concepts of the structure of matter, and
broaden the use of physicochemical methods of research (spectroscopic, electro-
graphic, X-ray, kinetic, etc.) for this purpose.
8. Develop on a broader scale the study of the history of organic chem-
istry azi3 technology in the Ukraine.
In connection with the pending celebration of a historical date in the
lives oP the Russian and Ukrainian people, that of the union of the Ukraine
with Russia, the conference calls on all organic chemists in the Ukraine to
present reports popularizing achievements in the field of chemical sciences in
the Ukraine.
9. Ask the Ministry of Chemical, Industry IfiSR to improve ilia supply of
chemical reagents to chemical laboratories; and escecially organize the supply
and wide sale of technical products including intermediates, lo:r-boiling sub-
stances in cylinders, technical acids, caustic alkalies, and solvents.
Ask the Ministry of l+lachine and Instrument Building USSR to improve the
supply of modern apparatus to chemical laboratories.
