The cover picture shows the photochemically promoted acylation of alcohols under very mild conditions. The experimental protocol is extremely simple, thanks to the use of a benchtop photochemical reactor based on UV LEDs. The acyl transfer proceeds well for primary, secondary and even tertiary alcohols. The choice of a long wavelength (up to 420 nm) allows the presence of otherwise photosensitive groups, which can later be photolyzed at a higher energy. Details are discussed in the article by C. G. Bochet et al. on p. 2073 ff.
