Outside Front Cover: Adaptive Rhodium Catalysis with a Lewis‑Acidic Secondary Sphere for Divergent Hydrogenation of Propargylic Alcohols (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 49/2025)
A single propargylic alcohol beam enters a catalyst prism and splits into three product beams via adaptive rhodium catalysis assisted by a Lewis-acidic secondary sphere. In their Communication (e202515903), Christophe Werlé and co-workers describe a rhodium catalyst featuring a triazine ligand with a borane arm that selectively transforms a propargylic alcohol into retained alkynes, allylic ethers, or (E)-alkenes.
