Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The efficient catalytic oxygenation of the C–H bond still represents a challenging goal in organic synthesis because the main problem is not principally the low reactivity of the unactivated C–H bond, but rather in the difficulty of achieving its oxyfunctionalization with high selectivity. Over the past few decades, a large variety of catalytic systems, ranging from metal catalysts and organocatalysts to biocatalysts, have been developed for laboratory-scale synthesis, using mostly organic and inorganic peroxides as the primary oxidants, as well as the more convenient molecular oxygen. The latter represents the oxidant of choice due to its highly atom-economical, abundant, and environmentally safe features. Thus, inspired by certain metal-containing enzymes such as monooxygenases, catalytic C–H oxygenation through the activation of dioxygen has received growing attention in both academic and industrial research.
This Special Issue of Catalysts entitled “Advances in Catalytic Oxygenation by C−H Bond Activation” welcomes full papers, reviews, communications, and concepts on the state of the art and future perspectives in the traditional three branches of this research topic—that is, metal-based, nonmetal-based, and enzymatic C–H oxygenation.

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.
