Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the publication of the twelve principles of green chemistry, when the basis for the development of green methodologies in organic chemistry was set, organic chemists have been developing new strategies, tools, reaction media, and techniques to achieve the green chemistry objectives.
New strategies such as multicomponent reactions, cascade or domino catalyzed reactions, jointly with new techniques such as microwave, ultrasound, mechanochemistry, or flow reactions, using green solvents, water, ionic liquids, or eutectic solvents could lead to the ideal process.
This Special Issue intends to highlight the improvements that were achieved by the conjugation of new techniques with new strategies and reaction media. While the isolated topics have often been approached in the scientific literature, the potentiality of their combination may originate remarkable improvements in sustainability, which this Special Issue intends to illustrate.

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. Sustainability 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 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.
