Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Vicente del Amo, Alejandro Presa Soto and Joaquín García-Álvarez (QuimSinSos Group) at the University of Oviedo. The image depicts the use of the Fe III -based deep eutectic mixture [FeCl 3 ⋅6 H 2 O/Gly (3:1)] (Gly = glycerol) as both promoter and solvent for the straightforward and selective hydration of alkynes, working under mild (45 °C), bench-type reaction conditions (air) and in the absence of ligands, co-catalysts or co-solvents.
