C−C Coupling through Nitrogen Deletion: Application to Library Synthesis

Invited for the cover of this issue are Oleksandr Grygorenko and his Ukrainian colleagues at Enamine Ltd., Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and ChemSpace, as well as Mark Levin at the University of Chicago. The image depicts application of a nitrogen‐deleting anomeric amide to parallel C(sp3)–C(sp3) coupling.
