Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heterocyclic compounds are widely present in various natural products, top-selling drugs, drug candidates, agrochemicals and materials. They play a significant role in most fields of sciences such as medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, agrochemistry, materials science and other areas of science. Among the top 200 small molecule drugs in the world sales rankings in 2022, there are 163 drugs with heterocyclic structures. Developing a highly efficient methodology for diverse heterocycle synthesis is still very desirable and urgent. This will resolve the issue of a large demand for compounds in drug discovery. Thus, it is necessary to develop new synthetic strategies to increase the diversity and complexity of heterocyclic molecules.
The expectation and goal of this Special Issue is to collect original research papers, mini-reviews, reviews and perspective articles devoted to all aspects of heterocyclic compounds, including cyclization reactions, annulation reactions, cycloaddition reactions, metal-catalyzed reactions, photo/electro-catalyzed reactions and domino/cascade reactions. Submission of manuscripts describing heterocyclic compound synthesis and biological evaluation, natural product synthesis, heterocycle synthesis and photophysical properties is also encouraged.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
