Abstract

Abstract : The Cover shows TFA‐functionalized SBA‐15 employed as a catalyst for the synthesis of coumarin through the Pechmann reaction under solvent‐free conditions. In their Full Paper, P. Kalita et al. have synthesized a range of TFA‐functionalized SBA‐15 with different pore diameters and TFA contents. These catalysts show great potential for various acid‐catalyzed organic transformations and could make a heterogeneous catalytic platform for the synthesis of various fine chemicals. More information can be found in the Full Paper by P. Kalita et al. onpage 336 in Issue 2, 2016 (DOI:10.1002/cctc.201500884 ).
