Abstract

Abstract : The Front Cover illustrates the transformation of essential oil from geranium (i.e. citronellol) into precursors of rose oxide (a fragrance of commercial value) using singlet oxygen. A simple continuous‐flow photochemical reactor was optimized for the safe photo‐oxidation of citronellol using a visible‐light LED. Reactor productivity was increased by a factor of four compared to the current literature. More information can be found in the Communication by Z. E. Hamami et al. onpage 122 in Issue 3, 2019 (DOI:10.1002/cptc.201800201 ).
