The Cover Feature shows a typical exotic wild beach contaminated by tons of plastic. The scuba diver represents the PI getting an idea of converting the used plastic (polylactide) cups into a green solvent for chemical reactions. As a result, ethyl lactate was for the first time tested as a solvent in olefin metathesis, showing full compatibility with a wide range of popular ruthenium catalysts in a rich substrate scope. More information can be found in the Full Paper by S. Planer, A. Jana, et al. on page 4655 in Issue 20, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201901735).
