Green Chemistry issue 10 is now online and features some exciting contributions to the field. The outside front cover highlights the recent article form Martyn Poliakoff and co-workers on using carbon dioxide from carbon capture and storage as a solvent, and asks whether this could help mitigate the cost of using supercritical fluids. This article was also featured in Chemistry World – click here to read more!
The inside front cover highlights work by George Kraus and co-workers and illustrates the synthesis of aromatic compounds from pyrones via Diels-Alder chemistry. The main pyrone employed in the work is derived from the natural product malic acid, and the reaction provides para-substituted adducts in good yields. Read the full article here.
