Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The synthesis of biologically relevant organic compounds is of fundamental importance in medicinal chemistry and drug development. As a result, great efforts have been continuously made on the development of new synthetic methodologies from the synthetic community. The past decade has witnessed the booming progress on a large number of novel organic transformations, to name several of them, for example, photocatalytic reaction, electrochemical reaction, flow chemistry, etc. New synthetic method development relies greatly on the utilization of new types of catalysts, reagents or technologies, and has greatly enriched the arsenal towards the synthesis of biologically relevant organic compounds. Among them, the rapid construction of new molecule entities (NME) for biological evaluations, step- and atom-economic methods toward biologically active molecules, and late-stage functionalization of pharmaceuticals and drugs are of particular importance. This Special Issue aims to provide a broad overview of the latest development on the development of new synthetic methods toward biologically relevant organic compounds.

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.
