Abstract
In this article we present (+)-3-carene as a valuable source for the synthesis of compounds with various odoriferous properties. Described compounds consist of carane, bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane, and gem-dimethylcyclohexane system in their structure. Olfactory comparative analysis with regard to the structure has been discussed. Fragrance of molecules varies from different fruit notes to floral and woody. Future prospects regarding application of biocatalysts towards synthesis of compounds with olfactory properties are briefly discussed and the synthesis details are also presented to show the simplicity of the preparation of some valuable fragrant molecules. The major part of our study has been previously described only in patents that in our opinion makes this paper a valuable data source of olfactory characteristics of low-molecular compounds derived from (+)-3-carene.

Advances of Heterocyclic Chemistry with Pesticide Activity
Global food safety and security will continue to be a global concern for the next 50 years and beyond. Plant diseases have had a significant impact on food safety and security throughout the entire food chain, from primary production to consumption. While conventional chemical pesticides have been traditionally used for ...read more
Calculation design of covalent/metal organic framework based catalysts
This research area combines theoretical computation and screening with machine learning for the design of covalent/metal organic framework-based catalysts, bridging the disciplines of organic chemistry, physical chemistry, computational chemistry, materials science, and machine learning. It covers several critical aspects: designing and synthesizing organic catalysts for improved performance, applying computational methods ...read more
Carbohydrates conversion in biofuels and bioproducts
Biomass pretreatment, hydrolysis, and saccharification of carbohydrates, and sugars bioconversion in biofuels and bioproducts within a biorefinery framework. Carbohydrates derived from woody biomass, agricultural wastes, algae, sewage sludge, or any other lignocellulosic feedstock are included in this issue. Simulation, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle analysis of a biorefinery process are ...read more
Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
