Aims and Scope:
Current Organic Chemistry aims to provide in-depth/mini-reviews on the current progress in various fields related to organic chemistry, including bioorganic chemistry, organo-metallic chemistry, asymmetric synthesis, heterocyclic chemistry, natural product chemistry, catalytic and green chemistry, up-to-date synthetic approaches, flow chemistry, suitable aspects of medicinal chemistry and polymer chemistry, as well as analytical methods in organic chemistry. It also covers topics related to structures, properties and reactivities of synthetic and natural organic compounds, and to reaction mechanisms. Articles related to hydrocarbons are also included.
The frontier reviews provide the current state of knowledge in these fields and are written by selected experts who are internationally known for their outstanding research contributions. The journal also accepts high-quality research papers focusing on hot topics, highlights, and letters besides thematic issues in these fields. Current Organic Chemistry should prove to be of great interest to organic chemists in academia and industry, who wish to keep abreast with recent developments in key fields of organic chemistry.
