Synthetic Communications is a world-leading journal publishing research exploring new methods, reagents, and other synthetic work pertaining to organic chemistry. Papers should provide enough experimental detail to aid chemists in replicating reported reactions. We publish original articles and short, focused review articles discussing topics within synthetic organic chemistry.
We welcome research that explores, but is not limited to, the following topics:
Organic synthesis
/// Total synthesis - natural products, bioactive molecules, building blocks, and NCEs
/// Synthesis in bio-organic chemistry
/// New synthetic methods
/// Asymmetric synthesis
/// Green synthesis
/// Electrosynthesis
/// C-H activation
Catalysis in organic chemistry
/// Homogeneous catalysis
/// Heterogeneous catalysis
/// Asymmetric catalysis
/// Co-operative catalysis
/// Photoredox catalysis
/// Phase transfer catalysis
/// Carbenoid ligands in synthesis
/// Enzymes/microbial agents in catalysis
Other areas of interest
/// Synthesis of new materials
/// Non-planar pi systems
/// Fullerene chemistry
/// Self-assembly
/// Molecular machines
/// Switching
/// Sensing
/// Molecular recognition
The journal actively encourages proposals for special issues, which should be discussed with the Executive Editor in the first instance.
Authors wishing to submit to Synthetic Communications should review the Instructions for Authors. Further guidance can be found on our Author Services webpage.
