Recent Advances in Cyclization Reactions

Dear Colleagues,

Cyclization is undoubtedly one of the most powerful strategies for the synthesis of versatile functionalized molecules that are useful in organic synthesis, biomedicine, agriculture, optoelectronics, etc. According to Scopus, more than 18,000 documents having the terms “cyclization” or “heterocyclization” in the title, abstract or keywords were published in the last 5 years. This Special Issue intends to focus on new approaches to the construction of carbocycles or heterocycles using new reagents, reactions or unusual reaction conditions. However, papers dealing with new aspects of conformational behavior, reactivity, the biological activity of cyclization products and other relevant topics are also welcome. I invite everybody interested in this problem to contribute their materials to this Special Issue.

In addition to the above, upon request of the Organizing Committee I am pleased to inform you that the North Caucasus Organic Chemistry Symposium (NCOCS-2022) will be hosted by North Caucasus Federal University in Stavropol city, Russia from 18 to 22 April 2022 (https://hetchem.ru/). The symposium program includes the discussion of comprehensive problems in all fields of modern organic chemistry. Participants of the NCOCS-2022 symposium are encouraged to contribute full manuscripts covering any aspects of modern cyclization reactions to this Special Issue. In addition, participants of NCOCS-2022 will be granted a CHF 400 discount on the publishing fees.

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 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. 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.
