Front Cover: Selective Pd^II‐Catalyzed Acylation of Pyrrole with Aldehydes. Application to the Synthesis of Celastramycin Analogues and Tolmetin (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 28/2020)

Abstract

The Front Cover shows, inspired by the famous scene of the classical movie “Modern Times”, a “robotical” Palladium that selectively assembles the pyrrole ring, which incorporates the directing group and the acyl radical, in a modern approach to acylation reactions. The authors acknowledge the artist, Patricia Fañanás (2nd year BA in digital art student), for her original design. More information can be found in the Full Paper by N. Sotomayor, E. Lete et al.
