This issue of SYNFORM presents a new feature: the “Advisory Board Focus” which is a portrait of the 25 Advisory Board Members of SYNTHESIS and SYNLETT. The protagonists provide their biographical sketch, and answer several questions about themselves and their professional views and achievements. This first Focus article features Professor Carmen Nájera from the University of Alicante (Spain), an inspiring example of successful women in chemistry.
The issue is completed by two SYNSTORY articles, the first one covering the enantioselective Dieckmann-type annulation reaction recently developed by Dr. C. G. Frost and his group (UK), and the second one highlighting a novel class of phosphorus-based auxiliaries for the addition of nucleophiles to imines, developed by Professor F. Colobert and co-workers (France).
