Abstract
The front cover image, provided by Giovanni Di Mauro, Daniel Kaiser and Nuno Maulide, illustrates the conversion of vinyl cations, as high-energy intermediates, into systems prone to charge-accelerated Claisen-type [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements. Starting from simple precursors, vinyl cation formation enables a rapid increase of molecular complexity, affording α-arylated carbonyl compounds that can be easily elaborated into drug-like scaffolds. The setting to this cascade of reactions is provided by the famous (and beautiful) Karlskirche in Vienna (Foto: G. Kücükkaplan). Further details can be found in the full paper on page 64–77 (D. Kaiser, L. F. Veiros, N. Maulide, Adv. Synth. Catal. 2017, 359, 64–77; DOI: 10.1002/adsc.201600860)
