C-H Activation in Organic Synthesis

Dear Colleagues,

C–H and C–H/C–H activations have emerged as direct and powerful methods for the building of new aryl–aryl, aryl–heteroaryl, and heteroaryl–heteroaryl compounds with a range of applications in various fields, such as medicine, biology and material sciences. During the last two decades, using direct arylation, direct alkenylation, oxidative arylation, as well as oxidative alkenylation catalyzed by transition metals, a versatile class of organic compounds have been functionalized.

This Special Issue aims to provide a broad survey of the most recent advances in C–H and C–H/C–H activations of arene or heteroarene systems. Original research articles or reviews that discuss C–H functionalization or C–H/C–H functionalization of arenes or heteroarenes are welcome.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
