Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heterocycles are ubiquitous building blocks in natural and unnatural medicinal compounds and functional materials. The focus of this Special Issue is to present short papers describing novel synthetic approaches to heterocyclic structures of value in these areas. Efficient procedures to access ring systems containing one or more heteroatoms (particularly, N, O and S, as well as others) are welcome. Contributions should be written as single-compound preparations and should target new compounds of high value. Previously-described structures will only be considered if they have proven value and if a significant improvement has been made in the synthetic approach. Sufficient experimental details should be included to facilitate other researchers in accessing each compound and characterization data should be included.
