Web collection: Synthetic Approaches to Natural Products via Catalytic Processes

We are delighted to announce a new themed collection to be published in 2017 on Organic Chemistry Frontiers:

Synthetic Approaches to Natural Products via Catalytic Processes

Deadline for submissions: 31 July 2017

Guest edited by: Louis Fensterbank Shuanhu Gao Armen Zakarian
University Pierre et Marie Curie East China Normal University UC, Santa Barbara

See ‘Recent applications of Cp2TiCl in natural product synthesis’ (Org. Chem. Front., 2014, 1, 15-33)

Catalysis serves as a powerful tool for chemical bonds transformation, asymmetric induction, and more importantly for achieving increased structural complexity in fewer synthetic steps. Over the past decade, stunning advances in catalytic methods like photoredox catalysis, organocatalysis and transition-metal mediated catalysis etc. have revolutionised the ways in preparing architecturally complex natural products and natural-product-like structures.

With the rapid development of catalytic methods as well as their growing impact in natural product synthesis, we wish this web collection could offer colleagues a platform to showcase their most exciting researches, highlighting at the same time the state-of-the-art and current limitations in this field.

Research articles, Reviews and Highlights will be considered for publication. Submissions will be subject to normal peer review. Accepted articles will be published and included into recent journal issues without delay to permit the timely dissemination of the work.

Please note in “comments to the editors” field in the online submission system if your manuscript is dedicated to this themed collection.

We look forward to your contribution!

Open for submissions: 2015 OCF Emerging Investigators Themed Collection

We are pleased to announce the inaugural Emerging Investigators themed collection of Organic Chemistry Frontiers (OCF).

OCF Emerging Investigators themed collection

Deadline for submissions: 8 Nov 2015

This special collection is dedicated to researchers who are in the early stages of their independent academic career.

A broad range of subjects will be covered — studies falling into the scope of the journal are all welcome, especially those making significant contributions to the field of organic chemistry by reporting either new or significantly improved protocols or methodologies.

Research Articles and Reviews are considered for publication — Review type articles including highlights and critical reviews. If you are interested in contributing a review, please contact the Editorial Office for further information.

This Emerging Investigators collection will be a web-based thematic issue — Articles will be published in the most recent regular issue to enable timely distribution of the work; in the meanwhile, papers are being assembled as a web theme on the journal homepage to highlight their contribution to the special topic.

We hope this themed collection will feature many up-and-coming, early-career scientists whose work has the potential to influence future directions in science or result in new and exciting developments.

If you are interested in contributing to the themed collection, please mention the intention in “Comments to Editors” upon online submission.


Publish with Organic Chemistry Frontiers, benefit from rapid publication, free journal cover and free access to 2014 & 2015 content!
