Front Cover: A Convenient Palladium-Catalyzed Aminocarbonylation of Aryl Iodides to Primary Amides under Gas-Free Conditions (Eur. J. Org. Chem. /2017)

The Front Cover shows sweet cherries, which contain amides. In this picture, the two cherries represent formic acid and ammonium bicarbonate, which are sources of CO and NH₃, respectively. In the presence of palladium and the phosphine ligand, aryl iodides were transformed into the corresponding primary amides under gas-free conditions. More information can be found in the Communication by X.-F. Wu et al.
