About the journal
Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis is an international journal dedicated to the advancement of efficient and practical synthesis, which is a joint effort by academic and industrial chemists to meet the global and societal challenges with which chemistry is faced in the 21st Century. The journal brings together chemists from various areas of research including synthetic organic chemistry, organometallics, metal-complex catalysis, organic catalysis, biocatalysis, biotechnology, and process chemistry. Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis succeeds the time-honored German "Journal für Praktische Chemie" (founded 1828).

The Ethical Guidelines of the European Association of Chemical and Molecular Sciences are followed by Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis (http://www.euchems.org/Publications/index.asp). In particular, authors should reveal all sources of funding for the work presented in the manuscript and should declare any conflict of interest.
Manuscripts containing animal experiments must include a statement in the Experimental Section to state that permission was obtained from the relevant national or local authorities. The institutional committees that have approved the experiments must be identified and the accreditation number of the laboratory or of the investigator given where applicable. If no such rules or permissions are in place in the country where the experiments were performed, then this must also be clearly stated.
Manuscripts with experiments with human subjects or tissue samples from human subjects must contain a disclaimer in the Experimental Section to state that informed signed consent was obtained from either the patient or from next of kin.
On behalf of our authors who are also US National Institutes of Health (NIH) grantees, we will deposit in PubMed Central (PMC) and make public after 12 months the peer-reviewed version of the author's manuscript. By assuming this responsibility, we will ensure our authors are in compliance with the NIH request, as well as make certain the appropriate version of the manuscript is deposited. We reserve the right to change or rescind this policy.
If authors have to or want to make their publications freely available at the moment they are published (open access), Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis offers such a service. Under the keyword OnlineOpen you can find all the information about this subject on our homepage. Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis also complies with the request or mandate from research funding agencies, for example the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), to make manuscripts freely available online in the unedited and not proof-read form after acceptance. In general we recommend that authors link on their homepage to their publication in Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis through the "Digital Object Identifier" (DOI). Only in this way can Crossref function correctly and full-text downloads be tallied.
2. Aims and Scope
Although total synthesis reached extraordinary levels of sophistication in the last century, the development of practical and efficient synthetic methodologies is still in its infancy. Achieving chemical reactions that are highly selective, economical, safe, resource- and energy-efficient, and environmentally benign is a primary challenge to chemistry in this century. Realizing this goal will demand the highest level of scientific creativity, insight and understanding in a combined effort by academic, government and industrial chemists and engineers.
Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis promotes that process by publishing high-impact research results reporting the development and application of efficient synthetic methodologies and strategies for organic targets that range from pharmaceuticals to organic materials. Homogeneous catalysis, biocatalysis, organocatalysis and heterogeneous catalysis directed towards organic synthesis are playing an ever increasing role in achieving synthetic efficiency. Asymmetric catalysis remains a topic of central importance. In addition, Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis includes other areas that are making a contribution to green synthesis, such as synthesis design, reaction techniques, flow chemistry and continuous processing, multiphase catalysis, green solvents, catalyst immobilization and recycling, separation science and process development.
Practical processes involve development of effective integrated strategies, from an elegant synthetic route based on mechanistic and structural insights at the molecular level through to process optimization at larger scales. These endeavors often entail a multidisciplinary approach that spans the broad fields chemistry, biology, and engineering and involve contributions from academic, government, and industrial laboratories.
The unique focus of Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis has rapidly made it a leading organic chemistry and catalysis journal. The goal of Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis is to help inspire a new era of chemical science, based on the efforts of synthetic chemists and on interdisciplinary collaboration, so that chemistry will make an even greater contribution to the quality of life than it does now.
3. Categories of Contributions
Commentaries are editorial statements by the Editors or by other responsible leaders from academia, industry and politics on issues of relevance to the goals of the journal and of importance to the chemical community. The subjects discussed can range widely, from questions directly concerned with synthetic science to those at the interface of chemistry with social and global problems associated with the health, materials, food, energy, environment, and many others. Commentaries are generally written upon invitation. Unsolicited manuscripts are welcome, as long as they fit into the concept of the journal.
Reviews are concise overviews of developments in a given area of high interest to the readership. As with other sections of the journal, the areas covered are not restricted to synthesis, but can include theoretical or mechanistic studies, separation science, reaction techniques and other subjects that are of interest to the practical synthetic chemist. The value added, above and beyond what one gets from compiling the results of a literature search, is that the authors apply their expertise and experience to critically analyze all of the literature available and provide the reader with a conceptual, comparative survey, using selected examples to illustrate the principles involved. The author places the subject into the broader scientific context for the benefit of non-specialist readers. In the coverage of a given methodology, not only the scope but also the limitations should be discussed. The practical utility and the future potential of the area should be central themes of the coverage. To the extent possible, the authors are encouraged to provide optimized experimental procedures, which have not been published previously. The material should be presented simply and understandably so that the broad readership of the journal rapidly grasps the essential aspects of the area. A biographical sketch (maximum length 800 characters) and a portrait-quality black-and-white photograph of the author(s) should be submitted. Reviews are generally written upon invitation. Unsolicited manuscripts are welcome, as long as they fit into the concept of the journal.
Communications report results of scientific studies that have not previously been published and whose immediate significance to the readership justifies their urgent publication. The authors are requested to address the question of usefulness and practical potential of the work presented, which will be taken into consideration during the peer-reviewing process. Essential experimental details for new methodology are required, including, for example, information on catalyst preparation and characterization, catalyst loading and reaction times. This should be summarized in a section with the heading Experimental Section at the end of the manuscript before the acknowledgments and references. Further experimental information and spectroscopic data can be submitted as Supporting Information (see "Electronic supporting information" below). The rest of the text should not be divided into sections with headings. The length of the manuscript, including illustrations and tables, should not exceed six double-spaced pages.
Updates allow authors to report new advances and insights obtained for projects that are being actively pursued; e.g., improvements in catalyst synthesis, reaction conditions, etc. These advances are expected to have significant practical impact, but need not have the urgency of communications or the scope of full papers.
Full Papers give a detailed report of significant results not published previously, except in preliminary form. The role of a full paper has changed since supporting information with full experimental details are now routinely published with communications. For a full paper to qualify for publication in Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis, it has to contain new results that are important in their own right and represent a significant advance. As in the case of communications, the usefulness and future potential of the work should be discussed. Complete experimental details should be included in the Experimental Section. Supporting Information should be restricted to things like nonessential experimental information (e.g., routine use of a known method) and characterization data. The length of the manuscript depends on the amount of scientific content being presented.
Book Reviews give critical evaluations of recently published books or multimedia products of interest to the readership. Publishers should send books directly to the Editor. Unsolicited books will not be returned.
4. Preparation of Manuscripts
Use of standard programs such as Microsoft Word and ChemDraw is preferred. For the submission of new manuscripts, the manuscript should be a single file, preferably as PDF, with tables and all graphics embedded in the text where they belong (not collected at the end). Use of the manuscript templates is encouraged. Supporting Information should be submitted as a separate PDF file. In the revised or final accepted manuscript, graphics prepared with ChemDraw, ISIS Draw, or Excel need to be embedded into the Word file and linked to those programs. All other graphics need to be supplied as separate files in a graphic format such as TIFF or JPG with a resolution of 300 dpi or higher.
Unless stated otherwise, the following instructions apply to all sections of the journal, except for Commentaries and Book Reviews.
Title page: Series title and number, if applicable; title; authors names and alphabetical references ( a, b, c, etc.) referring to addresses, and an asterisk to denote the correspondence author; affiliations of all the authors including the full postal address, fax number, and e-mail address of the correspondence author; dedication if applicable; footnote referring to the previous paper in the series, if applicable. The title should not contain chemical formulas.
Abstract should be brief (600–2000 characters) and not too technical.
Table of Contents (Reviews only) using Arabic numbers for the sections and subsections (e.g. 1, 1.1, 1.2, etc.).
Keywords Keywords to appear in the printed and online indexes should be given in alphabetical order. At least four keywords from the keyword catalogue should be included to aid online searching.
Introduction (the heading is only for Reviews and Full Papers, optional for Updates) should include relevant references.
Results and Discussion (the heading is only for Full Papers, optional for Updates) may be combined or kept separate and may be further divided by subheadings. This section should not be cluttered with technical details. The discussion should not only summarize the scope and limitations of the work, but also make a comparative evaluation of its practical significance and the potential for further development. To what extent do the results satisfy the initial expectations? What further improvements are necessary? For synthetic methodology, the discussion of scope and limitations should include consideration of isolated yield, selectivity, scale, catalyst stability, catalyst loading, reaction times, temperature restrictions, functional group compatibility, restrictions in solvent or conditions, wastes produced, and also an indication if further work is necessary to determine the general applicability.
Conclusion (the heading is only for Full Papers, optional for Updates) summarizes the results obtained and addresses questions such as: To what extent do the results satisfy the initial expectations? What further improvements are necessary?
Experimental Section (Full Papers, Updates, and Communications) should be given in sufficient detail to enable others to repeat your work. In so far as practical, authors should use a systematic name for each title compound in the experimental section. Common abbreviations and acronyms can be used (e.g., mmol, h, THF, binap). Chemical formulas can be used in the Experimental Section for common solvents, reagents, elements, and catalysts (e.g., CH2Cl2, CsOAc, Pd, CuBr2). Equipment and conditions used for the measurement of physical data as well as any enzymes or nucleic acids used should be described at the beginning of the experimental section. For catalytic methodologies, the catalyst preparation and characterization should be described in detail (unless it is commercially available). The source and purity of reagents and catalysts obtained commercially should be given. In the individual experimental procedures, quantities of reactants, solvents etc. should be included in parentheses rather than in the running text [e.g., triphenylstannyl chloride (0.964 g, 2.5 mmol) in toluene (20 mL)]. Information on catalyst loading (or S/C ratio or TON) and on reaction times (or TOF or rate) must be included. Physical data (using SI units whenever possible) should be quoted with decimal points and negative exponents (e.g., 25.8 JK−1mol−1). Optimized experimental procedures reported in Reviews should be incorporated into the text where appropriate following the instructions above regarding content and style. For all known compounds, a reference to characterization data in the literature should be provided, whether they are made by a procedure that is published or new. The structure and purity of all known compounds made by new procedures and all new compounds should be verified by characterization data; in an Electronic Supporting Information file (see below), original spectra (1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS) should be provided. The identity and purity of all new compounds should be additionally verified by elemental analysis, to an accuracy of within ±0.4%, or by HRMS, within ±0.003 of the calculated value.
Acknowledgements should be as brief as possible and placed before the References.
References: In the text the numbers should be typed in square brackets as superscripts (e.g., Noyori[3]) and, if applicable, after punctuation. If you use the automatic reference collation system of your word-processing program, please convert the references into text before submitting the manuscript; otherwise they may disappear when typeset. Journal titles should be abbreviated according to the Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index (CASSI); unpublished results and lectures should only be cited for exceptional reasons. Please follow the examples below (page range is optional but should be consistent throughout).

Legends: Each figure and scheme should have a legend. "Charts" are designated as figures. In the final accepted manuscript, the legends should be listed together after the reference section of the text file and not be included with the drawings in the separate graphic files. The position of each equation, figure, scheme, structure or table in the text should be indicated as in the following example:
((Insert Scheme 1 here:))
Tables must have a brief title and should only be subdivided by three horizontal lines (head rule, neck rule, foot rule). Footnotes in tables are denoted [a], [b], [c], etc. The table should be constructed using the table function in Word; do not make tables using the tabulator. Drawings within a table prepared with ChemDraw or ISIS Draw need to be linked to those programs within the Word file. All other graphics in tables need to be supplied as separate graphic files and their position in the table indicated. When a table consists mainly of graphic elements, the entire table should be prepared with a drawing program such as ChemDraw.
Illustrations (structural formulas, figures, schemes) must be readable after reduction to a one-column (8.5 cm wide) or two-column format (17.7 cm wide). We recommend use of the Adv. Synth. Catal. Document style sheet, which is supplied with ChemDraw and can also be downloaded from the Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis website at http://asc.wiley-vch.de/. The settings are: One-Column Drawing Width 13 cm, Two-Column Drawing Width 26.7 cm; Caption and Label Font: Helvetica or Arial [Symbol Font for minus (− not -) or multiplication (× not x) signs], Font Style Standard, Font Size 10 pt; Chain Angle 120°, Bond Spacing 18% of length, Fixed Length 17 pt, Bold Width 2 pt, Line Width 1 pt, Margin Width 1.6 pt, Hash Spacing 2.5 pt. ISIS/Draw can also be used. Illustrations prepared with other chemical drawing programs need to be supplied as TIFF or JPG files with a resolution of 300 dpi or higher.
Computer-aided image enhancement is often unavoidable. However, such manipulation cannot result in data that are less relevant or unrepresentative being shown and/or genuine and significant signals being lost. A clear relationship must remain between the original data and the images that result from those data. If an image has been electronically modified, the form of the modification shall be given in the Figure caption. If computer-aided processing or modification of an image is a fundamental part of the experimental work, then the form that this processing takes must be clearly described in the Experimental Section.
Color: Printing of Schemes and Figures in color is expensive, and we request that part of the additional costs be carried by the author. If color printing is essential and the author does not have access to funds for color printing, the editor should be informed.
Cover Picture: Suggestions for the cover of the issue (with an explanatory text up to 500 characters) are welcome (space available: a square with sides of 12 cm). Part of the additional cost for color printing must be paid by the author.
Symbols: In Microsoft Word, do not use the field or object commands on the insert menu to create symbols graphically. Use the symbol command on the insert menu; it opens a dialog box that contains a font box. Your options for this font box are "Normal Text Font" and "Symbol Font"; do not use MS Linedraw. Use these "Symbol" and "Normal" text fonts to insert Greek letters and characters with umlauts, accents, tildes, etc.: , Å, ã, , à. Italicize symbols of physical quantities, but not their units (e.g., T for temperature; J, but Hz; a, but nm), stereochemical information (cis, Z, R, etc.), locants (N-methyl, -amino) and symmetry designations (C2v). Chemical formulas should be numbered with boldface Arabic numerals (e.g., 1). In labels of axes the units should be placed in square brackets (e.g., T [K]). Abbreviations such as Me, Et, n-Bu, i-Pr, s-Bu, t-Bu and Ph (not Φ) may be used in formulas. General substituents should be indicated by R1, R2 (not R2, which means 2R) or R, R'. The spatial arrangement of the substituents should be indicated by hatched lines and a wedge. The symbol font should be used for minus signs.
Abbreviations and acronyms should be used sparingly and consistently, following the system of abbreviations and symbols recommended by IUPAC and IUBMB. Where they first appear in the text, they should – apart from the most common ones such as NMR, HPLC, and THF – be defined; you may prefer to explain large numbers of abbreviations and acronyms in a glossary after the abstract. Enzyme names should be accompanied by the respective Enzyme Commission (EC) numbers.
Graphical Abstract: A black and white drawing (without accompanying text) should be provided, which gives a visual summary of the work presented, or which is representative thereof. Graphics (formulas, part of a figure) should be kept small (ca. 6 cm × 13 cm which can be reduced to 65% for the table of contents in the printed issue).
Nomenclature: Follow the recommendations of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC: www.iupac.org/), the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB: www.iubmb.org/), or Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS: www.cas.org). IUPAC recommendations are on the WWW at www.chem.qmul.ac.uk/iupac/ or www.acdlabs.com/iupac/nomenclature/. Please do not use computer programs to generate elaborate systematic names, nor use long multi-line compound names; for the sake of clarity general descriptors such as compound 2, dendrimer 3, or alcohol 4 should be used in the experimental procedures and in the general text.
English spelling may be British or American, but consistency should be maintained throughout a manuscript.
Supporting Information may be included for deposition on the WWW; the author must keep a copy to make available to readers on request. Supporting Information may consist of original data that relate to the paper, e.g. additional or color illustrations, tables, supplemental experimental details, characterization data; include information that is more convenient in electronic form, such as coordinates, spectral data, etc, or that cannot be printed: animations, audio recordings, and videos. Color is welcome in the Supporting Information and published online at no cost to the author or reader. Experimental procedures for crystallographic studies can be included, but do not include the complete crystallographic data, which needs to be deposited in an appropriate database prior to submission of the manuscript (see Crystal Structural Analysis below).
Crystal Structural Analysis: Prior to manuscript submission, the author(s) must deposit their data or update data already available, so that referees can retrieve the information electronically directly from the database. Guidelines for depositing data can be found on the Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis website at http://asc.wiley-vch.de/.
