Cover Feature: α‐Amino Acids and α,β‐Dipeptides Intercalated into Hydrotalcite: Efficient Catalysts in the Asymmetric Michael Addition Reaction of Aldehydes to N‐Substituted Maleimides (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 37/2021)

Abstract

The Cover Feature shows the merging of chiral organic catalysts with inorganic materials, which gives rise to an hybrid organic–inorganic catalytic system able to catalyze the Michael addition of α,α-disubstituted aldehydes to maleimides under solvent free reaction conditions. The recovery, reusability and environmentally friendly conditions are represented by the illustrated landscape. More information can be found in the Full Paper by J. M. Landeros, E. Juaristi et al.
