Front Cover: Synthesis of (−)‐Mucocin Using a Diastereoselective Oxypalladation and Cross‐Metathesis (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2/2026)
Abstract
The Front Cover depicts the tropical region where the plant Annona squamosa, the source of mucocin (an acetogenin), grows. It also includes the fruit of this plant. To represent the convergent synthesis in this study, three fragments are shown flowing from three rivers, converging in a lake where mucocin is formed. Furthermore, oxypalladation is depicted as a precursor passing through a tunnel. The coordination of palladium to the olefinic portion is illustrated by an Amazon river dolphin. More information can be found in the Research Article by H. Makabe and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/ejoc.202500990).
