Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One of the major goals in modern organic chemistry is to design molecules with high added value by developing highly selective synthetic methods that are economical and environmentally friendly. These requirements may be fulfilled using tandem processes, where multiple reactions take place sequentially in one synthetic operation so as to shorten the synthesis, to respect the principle of atom economy and to substitute pollutants. On the other hand, the synthesis of optically pure compounds is of great importance in medicinal chemistry. Consequently, it is rather significant to combine asymmetric processes with tandem reactions as complex chiral molecules or multiple stereogenic centers could be efficiently created in a single step. Thus far, asymmetric catalytic tandem reactions have been widely applied in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, smart materials and complex natural and unnatural molecules.
The goal of this Special Issue is to provide a forum for scientists and researchers working in the field of tandem reactions to present their studies focusing on the latest discoveries and trends. This Special Issue welcomes original research papers as well as timely 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). 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.
