چکیده

Subdisciplines: Biocatalysis and Enzymology, Molecular Catalysis for Organic Synthesis, and Heterogeneous Photocatalysis A a comprehensive catalysis journal, jointly “owned” by the vast array of researchers studying molecules and materials that catalyze reactions, the scope of ACS Catalysis is understandably quite broad. In this regard, the editorial team has stated that the journal seeks the top echelon of papers in all fields of catalysis; more specifically, we seek the papers that the editors and reviewers deem to be the top 10% of papers in catalysis, as measured by innovation, impact, depth of understanding, and other key factors. Over the last century, the study of catalysis has evolved in numerous subdisciplines, each with its own expectations for papers published within its subdomain. In respecting these traditions, laid out by generations of scientists working to advance catalysis, the editors at ACS Catalysis have chosen not to write a formal description of the journal scope that applies to all areas of catalysis beyond the top 10% metric described above. Instead, periodically over the years, we have sought to define and refine the expectations for various subdisciplines in catalysis, in parallel with publication of guidelines and tips for successful publication in ACS Catalysis through editorials or perspective articles. With the steady growth of ACS Catalysis, the expectations and standards for publication have evolved, and today, a very small fraction of submitted papers are accepted for publication. In this editorial, we seek to clarify the scope of papers that best fit the journal in three key subdisciplines of catalysis where submissions and publications are growing rapidly(i) biocatalysis and enzymology, (ii) molecular catalysis in organic synthesis, and (iii) heterogeneous photocatalysis. The journal remains a comprehensive title, covering all areas of catalysis, and discussions clarifying the scope in other subareas may appear in future editorials.

Recent Advances in Asymmetric Catalysis in Flow

Asymmetric catalysis in flow has been attracting much attention very recently because of the potential advantages over its batchwise counterpart, such as highthroughput screening and synthesis, easy automation with the integration of on-demand reaction analysis, little or no reaction workup, and potential long-term use of the catalysts in the case of heterogeneous catalysis. Homogeneous asymmet...

Baker’s yeast catalyzed Henry reaction: Biocatalytic C-C bond formation

The C-C bond formation is an important reaction in organic synthesis to obtain value-added intermediates. Therefore, in this paper an attempt has been made to accelerate the Henry reaction (C-C bond formation) between aryl aldehydes and nitromethane using less expensive whole cell biocatalyst, baker’s yeast (BY). The scope of the methodology was also tested for the heteryl aldehyde i.e. 2-chlor...

Decatungstodivanadogermanic acid (H6GeW10V2O40.22H2O) was used as a green heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones from one-pot three-component cyclocondensation reaction of a β-ketoester, an aldehyde and urea/thiourea under solvent-free conditions is reported. This method provides an efficient and much improved modification of the original Biginelli reaction...
