In the March issue, Nicholas 3. Green and Michael S. Sherbum (Australian National University) write the inaugural Beckwith Review (a new open-access review series) on multi-bond-forming processes in efficient synthesis, highlighting processes forming two or more new covalent bonds in a single synthetic operation. Such processes, which have the ability to rapidly increase structural complexity, are pre-eminent in contemporary synthetic organic chemistry. SeveraL cutting-edge syntheses are showcased.
