Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A significant proportion of active pharmaceutical ingredients on the market are optically active compounds. However, enantiomers can have different or even opposite therapeutic effects, and the preparation of pure enantiomers is increasingly demanded in both academia and the pharmaceutical industry. Despite unprecedented advances in enantioselective synthesis and separation techniques, the large-scale production of enantiopure substances, as required by the pharmaceutical and pesticide industries, is still heavily dependent upon the separation of diastereomers obtained from enantiomers and an optically active resolving agent.
This Special Issue on “Synthesis and Separation of Optically Active Compounds” welcomes original research articles and reviews on the preparation of pure enantiomers by new or “traditional” methods. The presentation of new techniques and new observations is welcome as well. As these optically active compounds are part of our daily lives, the observations, experiences, and connections made during their preparation may be of interest to all chemists.

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.
