Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapid and straightforward assembly of carbocycles and heterocycles via homogeneous catalysis has been a major topic of chemical research in recent years. These rings are ubiquitous motifs in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, thus, methods for its construction from acyclic precursors in an atom-economical and fast fashion are of crucial importance. This Special Issue aims at disseminating the most recent advances in the multiple areas of annulation chemistry. The purpose of this issue is to cover the most recent approaches developed to build cyclic cores, ranging from the fields of organocatalysis, Lewis acid catalysis, radical chemistry, transition metal catalysis and photocatalysis among others. Also, the application of annulation methods to the synthesis of biologically active compounds featuring cyclic scaffolds, which highlight potential industrial applications are particularly welcome in this issue. Mechanistic investigations of the observed reactivity to elucidate the reaction pathways of annulation reactions both based on experimental and computational studies and structure-activity relationship studies on cyclic moieties are of high interest to this issue.
Communications, full papers and reviews on these topics 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.
