Organic Chemistry in the USA

Dear Colleagues,

Organic chemistry has traditionally been positioned at the forefront of chemical research. It broadly encompasses the study of structure, study of properties, and chemical reactivity via the laboratory and via theoretical (in silico) methods. The study of organic reactions includes synthesis of novel molecules, natural products, drugs, polymers, etc. 

Chemists in the US has traditionally spearheaded efforts in many areas. Thus, providing a convenient avenue for the dissemination of interesting results from US laboratories is of interest for the organic chemistry community. This Special Issue aims to illustrate the most recent and pertinent developments in organic chemistry, organic synthesis, etc. The contributions will focus on a broad range of organic studies, methodologies, or reactions. 

This Special Issue of Molecules journal collects articles from the best research groups in the US, representing not only the 50 states but also unincorporated territories of the United States The readers will be able to find diverse articles on the topic of organic chemistry, including communications, full papers and reviews.
