Cover Feature: Catalyst-Free Three-Component Petasis Reactions Accelerated in Microdroplets: Reaction Optimization and Senstive Detection by Mass Spectrometry (Anal. Sens. 6/2023)

Abstract

The cover feature image illustrates two mail devices, drones (representing sprayed microdroplets) and in-person (representing bulk phase), to deliver a letter (representing the Petasis reaction involving aldehydes, arylboronic acids and amines) in sharply different efficiencies. This study supplies not only a mild, efficient and environmentally friendly methodology to constructing aryl amines in organic community but also a useful derivatization strategy for highly sensitive mass spectrometric detection of arylboronic acids and aryl aldehydes.
