Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The chemistry of esterification is recognized as a mainstay in modern organic synthesis. Esters are ubiquitous in natural products, pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, polymer materials and many more. Esters of carboxylic acids are ubiquitous not only as useful synthetic precursors in organic synthesis but also as important building blocks in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Esters are commonly occurring structural motifs that are finding increasing applications in medicinal chemistry owing to their diverse bioactivities.
This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in ester chemistry, from the development of new synthetic methods (catalyst, thermal catalysis, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, Lewis acid catalysis, transition metal catalysis, microwave catalysis, C-H activation, etc. ), important derivatives (steroids, carbonate ester, etc.), the study of their properties (electronic, optical, biological, etc.), to their use in a broad range of fields, including materials, medicinal chemistry, analytical chemistry, etc.
We welcome communications, full research articles, and reviews on topics related to these fields.
Prof. Dr. Renhua Qiu

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.
