J. Am. Chem. Soc. - Journal of the American Chemical Society
J. Phys. Chem. - Journal of Physical Chemistry
J. Phys. Chem. A - Journal of Physical Chemistry (A or B)
J. Org. Chem. - Journal of Organic Chemistry
Org Lett - Organic Letters
Tetrahedron - Tetrahedron
Tetrahedron Lett - Tetrahedron Letters
Acc. Chem. Res. - Accounts of Chemical Research
