Dear Colleagues,

The concept of green and sustainable chemistry emerged in the early 1990s and gained widespread interest and support. Green and sustainable chemistry is concerned with the development of processes and technologies that result in more efficient chemical reactions that generate less waste and fewer emissions to the environment than “traditional” chemical reactions. Thus, green chemistry covers all aspects and types of chemical processes that reduce the negative impacts on human health and the environment compared to traditional practices. It can be achieved by limiting or eliminating the use or generation of hazardous substances related to a specific synthesis or process.

The Special Issue on “Advances in Green Organic Synthesis” will address the latest research in environmentally and human-friendly chemical technology in accordance with the defined and well-established principles of green chemistry—that is, preventing wastage, maximizing atom economy, designing less-hazardous chemical syntheses, designing safer chemicals and products, using safer solvents/reaction conditions, increasing energy efficiency, using renewable feedstocks, avoiding chemical derivatives, using catalysts and non-stoichiometric reagents, designing chemicals and products that degrade after use, analyzing in real time to prevent pollution, and minimizing the potential for accidents. Therefore, the objective of this Special Issue is to showcase the diversity and advances in research that contributes to developing effective green chemistry technologies, at industrial or laboratory scale.

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.
