Synthetic Chemistry

Just as bio-based fuels and new technologies are changing Earth-based transportation, rocket propellants are also evolving to integrate sustainability, safety, and advanced materials engineering into chemical and non-chemical propulsion systems.

A first-of-its-kind data analysis of 25 years of published process chemistry reactions, conducted by CAS and Lilly, reveals long-term trends in solvents, catalysts, reaction conditions, and emerging methods at an industrial scale.

This article, published in collaboration with the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and CAS, examines the state of global synthetic organic chemistry research with a focus on enzyme catalysis, photocatalysis, and green chemistry.

CAS and the Chinese Academy of Sciences explore hidden connections and publication trends in synthetic organic chemistry.
