Special Issue Information

Spirocompounds can be defined as cyclic molecules containing at least two rings joined together by a single carbon atom. This unique structural feature has been observed in natural products and has also been the target of methodological studies and syntheses. This special issue of Molecules is aimed at all aspects of spirocompounds. Submissions dealing with new methods of spiroannulation, the use of spirocompounds as intermediates in synthesis, and the isolation/characterization of new natural products are particularly welcomed. Any submission dealing with other aspects of spirocompounds will also be considered.

Manuscript submission

Manuscripts should be prepared according to the Instructions for Authors and submitted by e-mail to molecules@mdpi.org, with copy to the Guest Editor Dr. Guy Plourde, E-mail: plourde@unbc.ca and the Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Derek J. McPhee, E-mail: mcphee@mdpi.org. The subject title of the message should be "Manuscript for Special Issue on Sprirocompounds". Deadline for article submission: 30 July 2008 (Papers can be continuously submitted, processed, and if accepted, continuously published).
