Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Organic synthesis, the art and science of constructing organic compounds, is one of the most important fields of research in organic chemistry. This discipline has also impacted other sciences, resulting in the emergence of other related disciplines such as medicinal chemistry, biology, biotechnology, material science and nanotechnology. Currently, the development of new synthetic tools and their application to the preparation of various molecules is a recurrent topic in specialized journals. Thus, a great variety of synthetic protocols have been developed, including “classic” reactions, organometallic-based reactions, free radical-based reactions, organocatalytic methodologies, photoredox and photocatalysis, and others, expanding the number of synthetic tools available for organic chemists around the world. These methodologies have allowed for the preparation of an abundance of compounds in laboratories and industries, such as bioactive natural products, nutritional goods, high-tech materials, electronic devices, polymers, and others, that are present and facilitate our lives.

In this Special Issue, we intend to collect original research articles, communications and review papers that cover the latest news in this field, especially in the context of the development of new useful reactions and their application to the synthesis of interesting objectives.

Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:

- Synthesis of bioactive compounds;
- New procedures based on organocatalysis, photoredox and photocatalysis;
- Organometallic chemistry in organic synthesis;
- New insides in free-radical reactions.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.

The absolute configuration and stability of two thianthrene chiral sulfoxides has been determined by means of X-ray single-crystal structure determinations. The analyses and configurations allow verification that the diastereomeric sulfoxides are stable in solution and are not interconverting, which has been suggested in some studies of sulfoxides. The two thianthrene sulfoxides have slightly different Rf values, which allowed their separation using flash chromatography on silica. The spots run back-to-back, which posed a challenge for their separation. The pure, separated compounds in solution remain as separate, single spots on a Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) plate.
