Preface

Mini-Reviews in Organic Chemistry has now entered its 9th year. It has over the years developed into a highly sought journal with a very respectable impact factor. This success is due to the enthusiastic and untiring efforts of its Associate Editors, Regional Editors, Guest Editors of Hot Topic issues and its active Editorial Board Members. I wish to thank them for their help and assistance in soliciting high quality reviews and contributing excellent reviews themselves. As the year 2012 commences, we can look forward to another successful volume of this important international journal.
