Preface: The 27th International Electronic Conference on Synthetic Organic Chemistry ^†

1. Introduction

This volume of Chemistry Proceedings assembles the papers presented at the 27th International Electronic Conference on Synthetic Organic Chemistry (ECSOC-27), held online on 15–30 November 2023, through the sciforum.net platform developed by MDPI. The Electronic Conferences on Synthetic Organic Chemistry (ECSOC) are a series of conferences that have been held online since 1997. Originally, it was an initiative of MDPI and was later amalgamated with the University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain. It now constitutes the longest running electronic conference in the world. It maintains free participation and registration in the true spirit of open access on the World Wide Web. ECSOC-27 offers the opportunity to participate in an international scholarly conference without having the concern or expenditure of travel. This conference will be completely free of charge—both to “attend” and for scholars to upload and present their latest work on the conference’s platform.

This year’s edition saw a continuously increased collaboration among the authors and audience through live presentations of a limited number of contributions selected among the 233 submissions, all formally reviewed and accepted by the chairs and/or by the conference committee members. ECSOC 2023 collected contributions concerning five thematic areas covering a wide range of aspects involved in synthetic organic chemistry: General Organic Synthesis; Bioorganic, Medicinal and Natural Products Chemistry; Microwave Assisted Synthesis; Polymer and Supramolecular Chemistry; Computational Chemistry. Video recordings of the sessions and open access to the papers and presentations can be found online at https://ecsoc-27.sciforum.net/.
