Abstract
The cover art depicts the direct asymmetric aldol reactions of cycloalkanones and substituted benzaldehydes catalyzed by a secondary-amino aromatic Tf-amide organocatalyst, affording the corresponding aldol adducts in good yield with good to excellent anti-diastereo- and enantioselectivity. The catalyst efficiently “lightens” the diastereo- and enantioselective transformation. The art shows a sky lantern, known as Kongming Light, which is used as a wishing lamp in the traditional Chinese Festivals, such as the Lantern Festival and Mid Autumn Festival. More information can be found in the Communication by Yan Liu, Keiji Maruoka et al. on page 206 in Issue 2, 2020 (DOI: 10.1002/ajoc.201900730).
