Inside Cover: Regio‐ and Stereoselective Synthesis of Enamides and Dienamides by Ruthenium‐Catalyzed Co‐Oligomerization of N ‐Vinylamides with Alkenes or Alkynes (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 27/2007)

Just as with the Chimera , a creature from Greek mythology that has the head of a lion, a goat, and a snake, three distinct monomers can be combined to make one molecule. In their Communication on page 5160 ff., T. Kondo, Y. Ura, and co‐workers describe a series of ruthenium‐catalyzed co‐oligomerization reactions, including the cotrimerization of N ‐vinylamides with acrylates and ethylene, as a route to biologically and synthetically important enamides and dienamides.
