Asymmetric Reactions

Dear Colleagues,

Asymmetric reactions have assumed growing importance among organic reactions since the beginning of this century. Metal chiral complexes as catalysts, chiral pool, easily available chiral organic products, and chiral organocatalysts have been employed to perform these syntheses.

The widespread dissemination of this topic encouraged me to launch a Special Issue to enrich the knowledge of organic chemists, and, thus, new synthetic methods or reviews collecting data on known reactions are welcome.

This Special Issue will be of interest to organic chemists developing new synthetic methods and others interested in their application to the preparation of chiral organic natural products employable in industry, medicine, and biology.

The audience of potential readers is, therefore, very broad and I hope that many of you contribute your research to this Special Issue.

Prof. Dr. Renato Dalpozzo

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. Symmetry 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.
