Late‐Stage Functionalization for the Divergent Synthesis of Podophyllotoxin Derivatives by Rhodium Catalysis

Invited for the cover of this issue are Chunpu Li, Hong Liu and co‐workers at Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine, and Hangzhou Institute for Advanced Study. The image depicts rhodium catalysis converting the readily available podophyllotoxin into four kinds of novel derivatives.
