Cover Feature: Tunable Acid‐Base Bifunction of Hierarchical Aluminum‐Rich Zeolites for the One‐Pot Tandem Deacetalization‐Henry Reaction (ChemPlusChem 10/2019)

The cover feature shows an acid-base bifunctional faujasite (FAU; zeolite Y) that has a hierarchical structure and is formed by the solid-state dealumination of NaX nanosheets with ammonium hexafluorosilicate. The obtained material acts as a catalyst in the tandem deacetalization-Henry reaction of benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal with nitromethane to produce trans-β-nitrostyrene in a high yield. More details can be found in the Communication by C. Wattanakit and co-workers on page 1503 in Issue 10, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/cplu.201900315).
