TiO2‐Supported Re as a General and Chemoselective Heterogeneous Catalyst for Hydrogenation of Carboxylic Acids to Alcohols

Invited for the cover of this issue are the group of Ken‐ichi Shimizu at Hokkaido University and the group of Kazunari Yoshizawa at Kyushu University. The image depicts the latest findings from Hokkaido dealing with selective hydrogenation of carboxylic acids having aromatic moieties to the corresponding alcohols over Re/TiO2.
