From Scientists to Scientists—Moving Angewandte into the Future

Angewandte Chemie, vol. 132, pp. 12648–12649

Abstract

On June 4, 2020, an Essay entitled „Organic synthesis–Where now?“ is thirty years old. A reflection on the current state of affairs was published on the website of Angewandte Chemie as an „Accepted Article“. The article should have never been published, and we join the editors of Angewandte Chemie in sincerely apologizing for the offensive and misguided essay.
