Abstract

Abstract : The front cover shows that three different pyrrole derivatives can be obtained from the same starting reagents. The reaction is easily controlled by 1) the ratio of the starting reagents, 2) the amount of alkali, and 3) the degree of dilution. This process can be compared with playing the balalaika (a Russian folk instrument), where, by using just three strings, it is possible to produce beautiful melodies from the same notes. The three strings are associated with the three parameters, and the notes are the starting reagents. The sheets with quantum‐chemical calculations symbolize that the experimental work is based on theoretical investigations. More details are given in the Full Paper by N. M. Vitkovskaya and co‐workers on page 88 in Issue 1, 2020 (DOI: 10.1002/cplu.201900407 ).
