Aqueous aldol reactions from two different points of view

Carlos Barbas III and Nobuyuki Mase look at recent developments and applications of aldolase-type organocatalytic direct transformations in aqueous media in this new Perspective article. You will learn more about the role of water in organocatalysis, a field that is rapidly developing.

On the same theme, take a look at Thomas Nugent and colleagues’ recent paper on diastereo- and enantioselective aqueous aldol reactions and discover a very promising organocatalyst template for this kind of reaction.

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry achieves its highest ever impact factor

The latest citation data released by Thomson ISI on 17 June 2010 reveal that Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry’s Impact Factor has risen to its highest ever value of 3.762.

OBC's impact factor growth

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry’s Impact Factor growth over the last 5 years

‘Another highest-ever figure for the fifth successive year, maintaining its position as one of the leading journals for publishing high quality and widely-read organic research’ says Richard Kelly, the Editor of Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry.

Be part of this success and submit now to OBC!

OBC’s broad scope means that we publish great research across the entire spectrum of organic and biomolecular chemistry, including emerging areas. We welcome all types of manuscripts: communications, full papers and reviews. We have a very international authorship and readership that is continously growing (like our impact factor!).

Thank you to all our authors, readers and referees who are the architects of this success.
