Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of sustainable methodologies for the synthesis of fine chemicals or target molecules is growing at a fast pace in the field of green chemistry. Lately, the scientific community has been focused on developing methods for organic transformations that are chemically efficient and environmentally friendly. This Special Issue of Molecules will gather the most recent advances in optimization processes for the synthesis of key molecules. Research papers, as well as reviews, will be considered for publication. This Special Issue will cover all the different aspects of sustainable synthesis, such as the use of recoverable catalysts, the employment of benign solvents and biomass-derived starting materials, and step-economic transformations. Synthetic processes with easy scale-up are also welcome.
Dr. Daniela Lanari
