Quinoline, Derivatives and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Quinoline synthons represent building blocks in a huge number of natural as well as synthetic molecules. A large number of them exhibit interesting biological effects and some of them found application as drugs, pesticides, or insecticides. Quinoline derivatives are also utilized in the areas of food, catalysts, dyes, smart materials, refineries, electronics, etc. Therefore, there is a high demand for the synthesis of quinoline derivatives. Besides the development of new methods for the construction of the quinoline scaffold, the functionalization of the quinoline structure has also gained great interest. Investigation of the reactivity of quinoline derivatives is incessantly relevant, as it steadily yields interesting, often surprising, results.

This Special Issue is focused on short papers describing novel synthetic approaches to quinoline derivatives and new processes for the preparation of substances by their transformation, while the quinoline pattern does not have to be preserved in the molecule of product.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Molbank 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 500 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.
