Abstract

Abstract : The Cover shows the ingredients for a one‐pot/5‐steps reaction catalyzed by Au nanoparticles under O2 and a simple base such as pyrrolidine.In their Communication, P. D. Giorgi et al. describe an efficient one‐pot process to convert simple starting materials such as allylic alcohols into valuable substituted chromenes and dihydroquinolines. The reaction proceeds through an oxidation/hetero‐Michael addition/aldolization/crotonization and involves salicylaldehyde and aminobenzaldehyde derivatives as partners, which could also be generated in situ from the corresponding benzyl alcohols. More information can be found in the Communication by P. D. Giorgi et al. onpage 70 in Issue 1, 2017 (DOI:10.1002/cctc.201600925 ).
