Abstract

Abstract : The Cover Feature displays the power of combining circular economy with surgically precise epoxide openings and equally accurate successive hydrogen‐atom‐transfer to deliver numerous alcohols in line with the principles of Green Chemistry. In their Research Article, J. H. Schacht, S. Wu, S. Klare, S. Höthker and co‐workers present a highly diastereoselective titanocene‐catalyzed epoxide hydrosilylation reaction based on, polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS), which is not only more cost‐efficient than previously employed hydrogen‐atom‐transfer reagents by at least one order of magnitude, but as it is also an industrial waste‐product, its use is a prime example for circular economy. More information can be found in the Research Article by J. H. Schacht, S. Wu, S. Klare, S. Höthker and co‐workers .
