Preparation of Heterocycles by Metal-Promoted Reactions

Dear Colleagues,

The importance of heterocycles in the field of natural compounds and fine chemistry is well established. The diversity of heterocycles is substantial due to the many possible combinations between the nature of the heteroatom(s) (N, O, S, etc.) and of the cycle(s) (size; fused systems, etc.), just as much as the synthetic approaches for the construction of these scaffolds. This Special Issue is devoted to the latest research that is ongoing on the heterocyclic synthesis and their functionalization involving a metal-promoted step. Contributions (communications, full papers and reviews) that discuss innovative methodologies involving a metal (transition-metal or not, catalyzed or stoichiometric approaches) around known heterocyclic or poly-heterocyclic scaffolds as well as new structures are 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
