Cover Picture: Structurally Defined Molecular Hypervalent Iodine Catalysts for Intermolecular Enantioselective Reactions (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 1/2016)

The monumental “Elegy to the Horizon” by the Basque artist Eduardo Chillida oversees the Atlantic coast at the town of Gijón (Asturias, Spain). A similar structural shape is involved in the enantiodiscrimination of alkenes through a chiral iodine(III) catalyst. In their Communication on page 413 ff., K. Muñiz et al. discuss selective hydrogen bonding toward chirally induced supramolecular scaffolds in iodine(III) catalysts and their performance in an intermolecular enantioselective diacetoxylation reaction.
