Front Cover Picture: Accessing Indenoazulenes via a Gold‐Catalysed Cyclisation of Cycloheptatrienyl‐Substituted 1,5‐Diynes (Adv. Synth. Catal. 6/2024)

The front cover picture visualises the colourful beauty of the synthesised compound class of 11H‐indeno‐[2,1‐a]azulenes. In contrast to their colourless structural isomer naphthalene, azulenes are known for exhibiting vibrant colours, resulting from their non‐alternant hydrocarbon nature. Whereas the unsubstituted azulene is blue, the presented indenoazulenes show a range of dark green emerald‐like shades. The golden highlights depict the elegance and eternity of gold in its elemental state, emphasising the crucial role of the metal as a catalyst in the presented methodology.
