Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the synthesis and characterization of novel organic compounds. Articles focus on the development of new synthetic methodologies, including those employing sustainable and eco-friendly catalysts, and the preparation of diverse heterocyclic compounds, organoboron compounds, and derivatives of natural products. The characterization of synthesized molecules is primarily achieved through various spectroscopic techniques such as NMR, IR, and mass spectrometry, with some studies also including X-ray diffraction analysis.
