Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The successes of catalysis in the creation of modern drugs are beyond question. For example, in the syntheses of statins or paclitaxel, these have been worldwide challenges for synthetic chemists for decades. This Special Issue is devoted to advances in catalytic synthesis of new drugs or, equally, to new approaches to important drug compounds. Modern pharmaceuticals are usually chiral substances, and the asymmetric synthesis of such compounds or their key precursors is the special interest of this Special Issue.
Pharmaceuticals need to be synthesized in quantities large enough to meet the needs of health care while, at the same time, classical syntheses of complex compounds are accompanied by the generation of huge amounts of waste per unit of the target product. Therefore, the second special interest of this Special Issue is the work related to increasing the atomic efficiency of syntheses, increasing the yields, as well as obtaining complex scaffolds in a minimum number of stages.

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. Catalysts 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 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.
