Advances in Skeletal Editing and Rearrangement Reactions
Corinna Schindler (Send e-mail) / Mark Levin 
Deadline: December 31, 2022
Link to the virtual issue (coming soon)

This SYNTHESIS special topic is aimed at highlighting recent advances in transformations that modify the heavy-atom skeleton of organic compounds, especially those amenable to late-stage synthesis. Transformations agnostic of the underlying chemical modality (e.g. transition metal catalysis, photochemistry, reagent development, etc.) will be presented alongside one another to highlight the complementary approaches to this multifaceted problem. Colleagues working in the broad area of skeletal editing are invited to contribute.

-------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Electrochemical Organic Synthesis
Liu-Zhu Gong (Send e-mail) / Hai-Chao Xu
Deadline: December 16, 2022
Link to the virtual issue (coming soon)

Recent achievement of electrochemical organic synthesis attracts increasing attention in the community. By applying electrochemical methods, chemists disclose new synthesis which could not happen under traditional thermal conditions and make organic synthesis green and sustainable. This SYNTHESIS special topic is aimed to showcase established and novel trends on electrochemical organic synthesis.

SYNTHESIS Special Issue dedicated to Prof. David A. Evans
Corinna Schindler (Send e-mail) / Mark Lautens (Send e-mail)
Deadline: December  31, 2022
Link to the virtual issue (coming soon)

This Special Issue of SYNTHESIS pays tribute to Professor David Evans. We hope that this Special Issue will show the broad and positive impact of his mentorship on our scientific community today by highlighting current research in the form of manuscripts and reviews. Professor David Evans has mentored scientists from all over the world and created an atmosphere of vibrant scientific and cultural exchange in his laboratory.

C–H Bond Functionalization of Heterocycles
Anil Kumar / T. Punniyamurthy (Send e-mail)
Deadline: December 31, 2022
Link to the virtual issue (coming soon)

This upcoming special topic highlights the work of key contributors who have made important synthetic advancements in C–H bond functionalization methods that lead to diversification of heterocyclic compounds and are amenable for late-stage C–H bond functionalization of bioactive natural products and pharmaceuticals. Improved catalytic systems and site-selective C–H functionalization of heterocycles will also become an important part of this special topic.

Special Issue dedicated to Prof. Alain Krief
guest editor: Guillaume Berionni (Send e-mail)
Deadline: closed
Access virtual issue

 On the occasion of his 80th birthday we publish a special issue dedicated to Prof. Alain Krief. Alain Krief is born in Tunis in 1942. He obtained his PhD in 1970 and after a short stay in the laboratory of Prof. E. J. Corey at Harvard University, he became Professor at University of Namur where he cofounded the laboratory of organic chemistry in 1972. He is still active in academic research as an Emeritus Professor and as the executive director of the International Organization for Chemical Sciences in Development for the promotion and the worldwide development of chemical sciences.

Aryne Chemistry in Synthesis
Hideki Yorimitsu (Send e-mail) / Suguru Yoshida
Deadline closed
Access 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 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 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.
