Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In 2023 we completed the Special Issue: “Featured Reviews in Organic Chemistry”, which was a compilation of articles reaching across a variety of the areas in modern organic chemistry.

Based on readers’ interest, we are pleased to announce the second edition of this Special Issue which will be entitled "Featured Reviews in Organic Chemistry 2024". This Special Issue from the journal Molecules (MDPI) is seeking contributions that review any area of research in organic chemistry that has a broad appeal and is positioned within the scope of the journal. Summaries of the most recent, innovative developments in organic chemistry, synthesis, etc., are welcome. The contributions should critically summarize a range of organic studies, methodologies, or reactions; examine previously unaddressed aspects; propose and develop new approaches; exchange perspectives; or encourage new lines of studies.  Beyond the classical areas, other specific subfields, including but not limited to catalysis, flow, mechanochemistry, medicinal chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, or interdisciplinary studies, are welcome. The major goal of this Special Issue is to collect concise articles from prominent authors representing modern directions in the broad field of organic chemistry. We hope your well-regarded research group will participate in this prestigious, visible, publisher-promoted Special Issue of featured reviews.

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).

Due to the electronic configuration of the atom and charge of the nucleus, the chlorine in organic molecules can exert a variety of effects. It can depart as a chloride anion in the process of substitution and elimination, facilitates the abstraction of protons and stabilizes generated carbanions, exerts moderate stabilizing effect of carbenes, carbocations and radicals. There are frequent cases where chlorine substituent promotes more than one transformation. These rich effects of chlorine substituent will be illustrated by examples of our work. Full article
