Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chiral compounds are important elements in pharmaceuticals, materials, as well as being involved in the origins of life. This Special Issue focuses on the organic stereochemistry study. It contains the chiral catalysts used in asymmetric synthesis of bioactive compounds, chiral enrichment or amplification, the isolation of bioactive chiral compounds and their absolute configuration assignments. Some chiral material characteristics may be included since many chiral materials may be applied for pharmaceutical use. Theoretical study combined with the experimental study are encouraged in the Special Issue. Reviews related in the organic stereochemistry are also welcome.

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.
