Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The importance of developing analytic methods and the search for bioactive/behaviors of enantiomers is well recognized by academics and industries. Currently, the demand for efficient methodologies to obtain chiral bioactive compounds with a high degree of enantiomeric purity requires continuous advances in enantioselective synthesis, chiral analyses, preparative enantioseparation, and chiral recognition studies.
The main aims of the present Special Issue on "Enantioselective Synthesis, Enantiomeric Separations, and Chiral Recognition" include both fundamental studies and applications in a multidisciplinary research field that enrolls chiral compounds in general. Contributions to this issue, both in the form of original research or review articles, have the broad scope to illustrate recent and future trends in methodologies to obtain enantiomers in a highly enantiomeric pure form, and studies of chiral recognition in enantiomeric separations as well as in pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, and toxicological events.
Innovative approaches in the field of enantioselective synthesis, chiral analyses by chromatographic methods, and the determination of enantiomeric purity and chiral recognition studies—both in enantioseparation and in biological systems—are particularly 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 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.
