Cover Picture: Efficient Electrocatalysis for the Preparation of (Hetero)aryl Chlorides and Vinyl Chloride with 1,2‐Dichloroethane (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 14/2019)
Graphical Abstract "It′s a kind of magic" can be said of the bifunctional electrocatalysis strategy in which 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) serves as both a chlorinating agent and a source of the useful byproduct vinyl chloride. In their Communication on page 4566 ff., N. Jiao et al. describe how HCl generated by catalytic dehydrogenation of DCE serves as the chloride source for the synthesis of value-added (hetero)aryl chlorides.
