Abstract
“Carving” molecules out of wood. The synthesis of chemical materials from sustainable resources in an environmentally responsible way is an important grand challenge for a modern chemical infrastructure. In their Communication (DOI: 10.1002/anie.201508500), T. Opatz, A.J. Arduengo, et al. tackle the first of four aspects of xylochemistry. The cover metaphorically depicts the process of creating a natural product, Ilicifoline B, exclusively from wood-based starting materials (cover image: Jason W. Runyon).
