Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cycloaddition reactions have been noted as one of the most powerful and versatile strategies in the synthesis of cyclic molecules because of multiple bond formations in one-pot reactions. They usually feature atom-economic reactions and high synthetic efficiency. Many cycloaddition strategies have been applied to natural products and complex drugs. Cycloaddition reactions including [3+2], [3+3], [4+2], [4+3], and [5+3], etc., as well as sequential cascade reactions from various diploes are highly desired.
In the following Special Issue, we welcome contributions covering the development of cycloaddition reactions for the synthesis of different heterocycles from various fields. Within the scope of the application of cycloaddition reactions, potential topics include transition-metal catalysis, organocatalysis, heterocatalysis, homocatalysis, asymmetric catalysis, photocatalysis, or electrocatalysis or their applications in the construction of important heterocycles, drugs, and natural products. We welcome full papers, communications, and comprehensive 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.
