Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Organocatalysis has developed into one of the most exciting and rapidly growing fields in organic chemistry from the last two decades. Particularly, asymmetric organocatalyzed synthesis has been intensively investigated areas in synthetic organic chemistry. Although biocatalysts, metal catalysts and organocatalysts are considered to be the three major pillars for modern asymmetric synthesis, organocatalysts has proved to be the most effective and attractive one, because it does not involve either toxic metals or expensive biocatalysts to carry out stereoselective transformations.
This Special Issue aims to cover recent progress and advances in the field of organocatalysts for asymmetric synthesis. This includes the design and synthesis of organocatalysts, their applications in the development of new asymmetric methodologies, and the synthesis of relevant chemicals, such as natural products, active pharmaceutical ingredients and innovative materials.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Catalysts is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
