Abstract
The cover highlights a novel electro-oxidative approach towards the synthesis of N-hydroxymethylated indoles and related derivatives with the use of N-(hydroxymethyl)-N-methylacetamide generated in situ from N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) and water (H2O) as a formaldehyde surrogate. The design of the artwork featuring the integration of the synthetic transformation process with the celebration of the accomplishment of this work, is inspired by the Thailand Countdown 2025 Festival in Bangkok. Celebrated on New Year's Eve, this iconic event displays dazzling fireworks illuminating the sky and shimmering lights reflecting off Bangkok's magnificent Thai architecture. The imagery symbolizes a celebration of Thailand's advancement in electrochemical synthesis. More details can be found in article number e202401489 by Chutima Kuhakarn and co-workers.
