Synthetic Communications

Synthetic Communications is a world-leading journal publishing research exploring new methods, reagents, and other synthetic work pertaining to organic chemistry. Papers should provide enough experimental detail to aid chemists in replicating reported reactions. We publish original articles and short, focused review articles discussing topics within synthetic organic chemistry. We welcome research that explores, but is not limited to, the following topics: Organic synthesis •Total synthesis - natural products, bioactive molecules, building blocks, and NCEs •Synthesis in bio-organic chemistry •New synthetic methods •Asymmetric synthesis •Green synthesis •Electrosynthesis •C-H activation Catalysis in organic chemistry •Homogeneous catalysis •Heterogeneous catalysis •Asymmetric catalysis •Co-operative catalysis •Photoredox catalysis •Phase transfer catalysis •Carbenoid ligands in synthesis •Enzymes/microbial agents in catalysis Other areas of interest •Synthesis of new materials •Non-planar pi systems •Fullerene chemistry •Self-assembly •Molecular machines •Switching •Sensing •Molecular recognition The journal actively encourages proposals for special issues, which should be discussed with the Executive Editor in the first instance. Authors wishing to submit to Synthetic Communications should review the Instructions for Authors. Further guidance can be found on our Author Services webpage. Peer-Review Policy All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Executive Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to rigorous and rapid peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single-anonymized. Publishing Ethics Synthetic Communications adheres to the highest standards of publishing ethics, with rigorous processes in place to ensure this is achieved. Taylor & Francis is a member of Committee of Publications Ethics (COPE) and utilizes Similarity Check via CrossRef for all journals.
