We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of the founding EIC of #OrgLett Amos B. Smith, III. His vision was realized with our inaugural issue in July 1999 publishing urgent, novel discoveries in organic chem. We will celebrate his life with a memorial editorial coming soon.

Here is an invited article from our lab in Chemistry-An Asian Journal. In this article, we report a a visible light mediated sulfenylation strategy in nitrogenous heterocycles using Bunte salts. Congratulations Sehdev! doi.org/10.1002/asia.2…
