Synthesis and Functionalization of Nitrogen Heterocycles

Dear Colleagues,

Nitrogenous compounds hold a privileged position in the preparation of drugs, agrochemicals, polymers and other functional materials. In particular, nitrogen species are presented in more than 80% of the top 200 pharmaceuticals, and two thirds of these N-containing medicines contain N-heterocyclic skeletons. Therefore, the development of different synthetic methods for N-heterocycles has attracted great endeavor in organic synthetic chemistry. To date, various methodologies, including cycloisomerization, cycloaddition, cross-coupling reaction and multicomponent condensation reactions, etc., have been developed to construct these basic skeletons.

Through intersection and integration with other disciplines, nitrogen heterocyclic chemistry has produced many new interdisciplinary and cutting-edge fields, and also provides new opportunities for its development. Therefore, the significance of this Special Issue for the synthesis and functionalization of nitrogen heterocycles is not only on paper, but also further invested in the great cause of national production and building socialism, which is beneficial to the country and people.

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.
