The chemoselective reduction of epoxides to the corresponding alkenes occurs in the presence of an Ag–CeO 2 nanoparticle core–shell nanocomposite (AgNPs@CeO 2 , represented as the moon orbiting the earth) and H 2 . In their Communication on page 136 ff., K. Kaneda and co‐workers report how the chemoselective reaction, which can also be applied to nitrostyrenes, proceeds more efficiently with AgNPs@CeO 2 than with conventional oxide‐supported metal nanoparticles.
