Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The synthesis of complex natural products acts as an engine for driving innovation in multiple areas of chemical research.
The structural motifs present in complex natural products serve to identify unsolved synthetic problems leading to the development of innovative strategies and methodologies that advance the frontiers of organic chemistry. The completion of a total synthesis not only provides material for further biological studies but also generates extensive chemical knowledge that can enable the synthesis of analogs to further probe biomolecular function. Additionally, the need to supply material rapidly and in large quantities for biological applications drives the development of ever more efficient syntheses and methods furthering the objectives of sustainable development.
In this Special Issue, we aim to highlight recent advances in the synthesis of complex natural products illustrating the challenges of this exciting and dynamic area of research. We invite you to contribute an original research paper or review consisting of a completed synthesis or synthetic studies towards a complex natural product. The full detailed account of a total synthesis of a complex natural product (or related studies), previously only reported as a short communication, would also be suitable.

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.
