Front Cover Picture: Recent Advances in the Electrochemical α‐C–H Bond Functionalization of Carbonyl Compounds (Adv. Synth. Catal. 22/2018)

The front cover picture, provided by Sen Liang, Kun Xu, Cheng-Chu Zeng, Hong-Yu Tian, Bao-Guo Sun, exhibits the advances in using electrochemistry for α-C−H oxidative functionalization of carbonyl compounds. α-C−H bond functionalization of carbonyl compounds to afford more versatile functionalized groups has become a promising strategy for atom-economical C−C and C−X bond formation. Organic electrosynthesis is revolutionizing the way of organic synthesis, and this field has seen explosive growth in recent years. Details can be found in the review on pages 4266–4292 (S. Liang, K. Xu, C.-C. Zeng, H.-Y. Tian, B.-G. Sun, Adv. Synth. Catal. 2018, 360, 4266–4292; DOI: 10.1002/adsc.201800519).
