The one-pot synthesis of a target molecule in the same reaction vessel is widely considered
to be an efficient approach in synthetic organic chemistry. In this review, the characteristics …

Conspectus We would all like to make or obtain the materials or products we want as soon
as possible. This is human nature. This is true also for chemists in the synthesis of organic …

It is often said that “time is money”. This is certainly true in a multistep synthesis when a high-
valued product or set of products is needed urgently. Fulfilling this need requires the …

Our understanding of the different glycoconjugates present on cells, proteins and entire
organisms is lagging far behind advances in genomics and proteomics. Carbohydrate …

Phosphorescent transition metal complexes have been intensively investigated, since these
luminophores are distinctively different from fluorescent chromophores in terms of the nature …

A great deal of attention has been paid both in the scientific literature and the general media
to the high potential risk of a worldwide spread of avian H5N1 influenza virus, the death rate …

Covering: 2007 to 2009 This review covers the most recent applications of organocatalysis
in the synthesis of natural products and non-natural biologically active molecules. Our aim is …

Drug design and discovery is a process that requires high financial costs and is
timeconsuming. For many years, this process focused on empirical pharmacology. However …

Shikimic acid is a key intermediate for the synthesis of the antiviral drug oseltamivir
(Tamiflu®). Shikimic acid can be produced via chemical synthesis, microbial fermentation …

The importance of natural products in the treatment of human disease is well documented.
While natural products continue to have a profound impact on human health, chemists have …
