Front Cover: Two Useful Directing Modes in Singlet Oxygen Reactivity: Electrostatic Effects in the Ene Reaction with Allylic Alcoholates and a Chemoselectivity Change with α‐Alkoxy Michael Esters (ChemPhotoChem 11/2018)

Abstract

The Front Cover shows a cartoon of the hydrogen‐transfer process initiating the singlet oxygen ene reaction with several strong regio‐ and stereodirecting effects following the rule of thumb: If you give singlet oxygen your little finger it will soon have your whole hand (as adapted from a quote by Sigmund Freud).
