Cover Feature: Silver‐Catalyzed Olefination of Aryl Aldehydes Using Propiolates (Chem. Eur. J. 48/2024)

Hand shadow puppetry is the art of making shadow images, especially of animals, by using hands and light. Just like this, we have made α,β-unsaturated ester by treating arylaldehyde and propiolate as arms activated by trimethyl orthoformate in presence of a shiny silver catalyst.
