Front Cover: Mechanistic Insights into the Organocatalytic Kinetic Resolution of Oxazinones through Alcoholysis (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 3/2022)

Abstract

The Front Cover represents a metaphor for the enantioselectivity produced by the organocatalyst in the studied reaction. Just like a traveler would never choose the dark and unsafe pathway and would always go through the light and easy road, the catalyst leads the reactants through the lowest energy transition state, producing the R enantiomer of the product over the S.
