Abstract
AbstractIn 2000 China ranked 5th in the world (7.9%) in the publication of SCI papers on organic synthesis and catalysis; by 2008 China had become 1st (21.6%), followed by the USA, Germany and Japan. Major contributions made by Chinese research groups in the last decade in the areas of total synthesis of complex natural products, cross‐coupling, asymmetric catalysis, and heterogeneous catalysis are highlighted. The output and quality of the research on synthesis and catalysis from China continue to increase, so that with the rapid development of China’s economy, Chinese chemists will make greater contributions to organic synthesis and catalysis in the future.
