Abstract
The back cover picture, showcases research from the groups of Bo Han and Gu He. A sequential benzoin/Michael/acetalization tandem reaction catalyzed by NHC and amine together has been developed to afford chiral tetrahydrofuran derivatives. The high yield and stereocontrol of this process may be due to both acid-promoted symmetrization of racemic acyloins and iminium ion activation of enals, as reported in the full paper on pages 2311–2319 (G. He, F.Wu,W. Huang, R. Zhou, L. Ouyang, and B. Han, Adv. Synth. Catal. 2014, 356, 2311–2319; DOI: 10.1002/adsc.201400172).
