The covers of this week’s OBC issue are brought to you by Michael C. Willis et al. and Rohan A. Davis et al.
The front cover highlights the work of Michael C. Willis et al. who demonstrate that it is possible to construct C–SO2–N linkages using palladium-catalysed aminosulfonylation processes.
Palladium-catalysed aminosulfonylation of aryl-, alkenyl- and heteroaryl halides: scope of the three-component synthesis of N-aminosulfonamides
Edward J. Emmett, Charlotte S. Richards-Taylor, Bao Nguyen, Alfonso Garcia-Rubia, Barry R. Hayter and Michael C. Willis
DOI: 10.1039/C2OB07034K
The inside front cover shows work from Rohan A. Davis et al. who present the design and synthesis of two screening libraries utilising the muurolane natural product scaffold from the plant E. mitchellii.
Design and synthesis of screening libraries based on the muurolane natural product scaffold
