Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The need to improve both the efficiency and environmental acceptability of industrial processes is a driving force toward the development of innovative asymmetric catalytic systems.
Catalysis is one of the twelve principles of Green Chemistry and is recognized as an indispensable strategy to realize the chemical transformations of the future. Despite all the recent achievements in the field, the combination of inexpensive, non-toxic, easily available catalysts capable of performing at very low loadings is still a challenge for present-day asymmetric catalysis.
The present Special Issue on “Recent Advances in Stereoselective Catalytic Reactions” aims to collect and to disseminate some of the most significant and recent contributions in the highly interdisciplinary field of chiral catalysts, including organometallic species as well as organocatalysts, but also enzymatic reactions, light-driven and photoredox catalytic reactions, in an attempt to present some representative examples of the three pillars of catalysis: metal-based catalysis, organocatalysis, and biocatalysis.
A special focus will be given to the catalytic systems employed in the synthesis of chiral building blocks or intermediates for the preparation of industrial products, active pharmaceutical ingredients, and biologically active compounds.

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.
