Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The value of organic compounds in our everyday lives ensures that their synthesis attracts the attention of innovators both in the industrial and academic worlds. Goods produced by organic chemistry processes play an essential role in all aspects of modern life, including agriculture, food production, drug development, and the manufacturing of new materials or fuels. The wide range of applications of organic chemistry and the need to discover more sustainable methods of producing them have led to interesting recent developments in synthesis, new catalysts, and novel applications of a range of products.
This Special Issue, entitled “Synthesis, Catalysis and Applications of Organic Chemistry” will cover, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Green reagents, processes, and catalysts (homogenous, heterogeneous, and enzymes) in the production of organic products;
- Advances in organic synthesis that improve the efficiency of the production of organic molecules: more active and selective catalysts and novel continuous methods to replace batch processes;
- Use of enzymes for more efficient processes;
- Sustainability in organic synthesis—reusing, recycling, and upcycling organic compounds;
- Novel applications of industrial organic compounds that enhance our quality of life;
- Modelling of reaction conditions for more efficient processes;
Technoeconomic studies of new organic products/processes.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
