Aryne Chemistry in Synthesis
Hideki Yorimitsu (Send e-mail) / Suguru Yoshida
Deadline: March 31, 2022
Access virtual issue
Remarkable advances in modern aryne chemistry have enabled the efficient synthesis of a wide variety of aromatic compounds through aryne intermediates of characteristic reactivity. This SYNTHESIS Special Topic about 'Aryne Chemistry in Synthesis' – a field attracting a broad range of researchers in various disciplines such as pharmaceutical sciences and material chemistry – presents exciting synthetic methods including new reactions and strategies for synthesizing diverse aromatic molecules through highly reactive arynes.

Asymmetric C–H Functionalization
Liu-Zhu Gong (Send e-mail) / Shigeki Matsunaga / Gong Chen
Deadline: closed
Access virtual issue
Asymmetric C–H functionalization received increasing attention from researchers in the past decade due to its significance in the construction of molecular complexity without the need to pre-activate. Distinguishing the reactivity among multiple C–H bonds in a single molecule presents very challenging issues in organic synthesis and requires rigorous reaction design.
In addition to the virtual collection a Thieme WebCheminar took place on May 11, chaired by Liu-Zhu Gong and Gong Chen. Joanna Wencel-Delord, Shigeki Matsunaga, Nicolai Cramer, and Bing-Feng Shi presented their latest research results.
