Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last years, organic synthesis has been greatly influenced by the widespread diffusion of continuous flow technologies, which have revolutionized not only the synthesis and manufacturing of chemical products but also the design and development of novel reactions.
The present Special Issue “Flow Chemistry in Organic Synthesis” aims to collect and disseminate some of the most significant and recent contributions in the very wide and highly interdisciplinary area of continuous flow organic reactions.
The scope is broad and includes, among others, the use of micro- and mesofludic devices, flow and catalytic reactors, the application of innovative heating techniques, 3D-printing, photochemical reactions under continuous flow conditions, catalytic and enzymatic transformations, and the development of in-flow reactions in alternative solvents (ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents). A special focus will be given to the synthesis of chiral molecules, building blocks, or intermediates for the preparation of industrial products, active pharmaceutical ingredients, and biologically active 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
