Abstract
This review covers synthetic work carried out in the field of stilbene and oligostilbene chemistry. It includes a brief overview of the methods used for the synthesis of monomeric stilbenoids. The production of oligomeric species by means of enzymatic or microbial conversion is examined in detail. Biomimetic syntheses of stilbene oligomers are then scrutinised. Most of the work is based on the dimerisation of stilbenoid monomers with help of one-electron oxidants or through acid catalysis. Mechanistic interpretations of the oxidative couplings observed by the various groups are proposed and suggest that the outcome of these reaction be guided by the “hard and soft acid and base” (HSAB) principle together with supramolecular interactions between the reacting stilbenoid monomers. Eventually, the few non-biomimetic full syntheses are presented and their strategies analysed.

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
