Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heterocyclic compounds including monocyclic, fused ring systems, and macrocycles represent the largest and most diverse family of organic compounds. These versatile structural motifs differing in the number of ring members and functionalization, as well as the number, nature, and relative position of heteroatoms constituting the rings, are present in several biologically active natural compounds and in many marketed small molecule drugs, fine chemicals, and agrochemicals. In addition to their medicinal importance, heterocycles also find applications as corrosion inhibitors, preservatives, surface modifiers, copolymers, dyes, antistatic agents, agrochemicals, etc.
The diversity of the structures involved, as well as their practical relevance, have motivated research aimed at the development of efficient, selective, and environmentally friendly synthetic strategies. Thus, new advances in synthetic methodologies that enable rapid access to a variety of functionalized heterocyclic compounds are of critical importance. The present Special Issue is dedicated to the preparation and functionalization of aromatic and non-aromatic heterocycles involving novel synthetic methodologies in photoredox chemistry, C–H functionalization, borrowing hydrogen catalysis, multicomponent reactions, regio- and stereoselective syntheses, as well as other novel, innovative green syntheses for the formation and functionalization of heterocycles.

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. 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.
