Front Cover: Stereoselective and Enantiospecific Synthesis of Trisubstituted 1,3a,4,6a‐Tetrahydropentalene via Cuneane Scaffold Editing (ChemistryEurope 3/2026)
Abstract
The Front Cover depicts the formation of pentalene, visualized as a Cuneane flower arrangement being unfolded by rhodium (Rh) while a nucleophile “flower” is inserted into it. This scene symbolizes the scaffold editing of cuneane. More information can be found in the Research Article by H. Takebe and S. Matsubara (DOI: 10.1002/ceur.202500225). Artwork by H.T.
