Dear Colleague,

The Electronic Conferences on Synthetic Organic Chemistry (ECSOC) are a series of conferences that have been held online since 1997. Originally, it was an initiative of MDPI, and was later amalgamated with the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain). It now constitutes the longest running electronic conference in the world. It maintains free participation and registration in the true spirit of open access on the World Wide Web. The conference this year will cover a wide range of aspects involved in synthetic organic chemistry. A non-exhaustive list of topics that will be considered comprises:

  1. General Organic Synthesis
  2. Bioorganic, Medicinal and Natural Products Chemistry
  3. Microwave Assisted Synthesis
  4. Polymer and Supramolecular Chemistry
  5. Computational Chemistry

ECSOC-26 offers you the opportunity to participate in this international, scholarly conference without having the concern or expenditure of travel (Especially in these times, when the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, is not completely gone) . The conference will be completely free of charge—both to “attend”, and for scholars to upload and present their latest work on the conference platform. There will be a possibility to submit selected papers to the journal Molecules (ISSN 1420-3049, Impact Factor: 34.412 (2020) ; 5-Year Impact Factor: 4.588 (2020). http://www.mdpi.com/journal/molecules).

Abstracts (in English) should be submitted by *10th September 2022* After the abstract is accepted by the Scientific Committee, Once the abstract has been accepted, the author is requested to send the full communication manuscript, and optionally, a PowerPoint presentation (PDF only) and / or video of their work, until the submission deadline 23 September 2022. The text in the abstract must match the one presented in the full communication. Those abstracts that are not completed with a full communication will be withdrawn by the editors. Powerpoint presentation or video are complements to the full communication and cannot be presented as a substitute for it.A CD-ROM with Proceedings will be published after the conference, edited by Dr. Julio A. Seijas and Dr. M. Pilar Vázquez-Tato under MDPI ISBN ISBN 978-3-0365-3286-8.

We hope you will be able to join this exciting event and support us in making it a success. The 26th International Electronic Conference on Synthetic Organic Chemistry is organized and sponsored by MDPI (http://www.mdpi.com), an open access publisher based in Switzerland.

We look forward to receiving your research papers and to welcome you at this 26thedition of the e-Conference.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions.

Kind regards,
*Dr. Julio A. Seijas Vázquez*
Chair of the 26th Electronic Conference on Synthetic Organic Chemistry (ECSOC 26)
