The Dynamic Covalent Chemistry of Amidoboronates: Tuning the rac 5 /rac 6 Ratio via the B-N and B-O Dynamic Covalent Bonds.

Invited for this month's cover is the group of Anna J. McConnell and Christian Näther from Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, Germany. The cover picture shows an amidoboronate puzzle divided into four quarters that represent four possible amidoboronates. How do these amidoboronates interconvert? The right combination of aniline (yellow circles) and catechol (grey and purple circles) pieces solves this conundrum and the amidoboronates interconvert via dynamic covalent B-N (left to right) and B-O bonds (top to bottom). More information can be found in the Research Article by Anna J. McConnell and co-workers.
