The European Journal of Organic Chemistry (EurJOC)
Research papers by Professors Paul Murphy and Pat Guiry of the CSCB feature in the special decennial issue of the European Journal of Organic Chemistry (EurJOC), to be published next month. Celebrating ten years of excellence in publishing, the issue features papers by a range of authors from across Europe.
"Over the years EurJOC has developed into a truly international journal, with a current impact factor of 2.69 and a shortening of publication time and doubling of publication frequency since its inauguration”, according to Dr Haymo Ross, the journal's Editor. EurJOC covers the broad scope of organic chemistry with a strong basis in contemporary synthetic chemistry.
Several speakers at the recent European Symposium on Organic Chemistry (ESOC 2007), which was held at UCD in July 2007, have contributed to the journal's celebratory issue.
CSCB researcher Professor Paul Murphy has contributed a review article outlining advances in the application of sugars as scaffolds for bioactive compound discovery, focusing on recent work from his own research group.
The paper authored by Professor Guiry and Grainne Hargaden reports the preparation of a new class of oxazoline-containing ligands and their application in a chromium-catalysed asymmetric allylation of aldehydes.
