Recent Advances in Synthetic Organic Chemistry

Dear Colleagues,

Heterocyclic compounds are cyclic organic compounds that contain at least one carbon atom and at least one other element, such as nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur. Heterocyclic compounds are essential to life, as they are widely distributed in Nature. Green synthetic techniques and the use of alternative energy sources as tools to obtain chemical reactions have drawn the attention of the pharmaceutical industry and academia. Greener synthetic routes to develop bioactive compounds; the use of ultrasound, microwaves, flow chemistry and other approaches for the synthesis of biologically active molecules; as well as safe transformations by degradable or recyclable reagents are necessary so that green chemistry can further provide its contribution to the quality of environmental matrices, tightly related to the good state of health of humans, thus joining in combination with the purposes of good health promoted by pharmaceutical chemistry. This Special Issue will be a platform to present current research in this field. Therefore, researchers in this area are welcome to submit relevant manuscripts to this Special Issue of Molecules titled “Recent Advances in Synthetic Organic Chemistry”, especially manuscripts related to green synthesis, characterization and biological properties.

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.
