The Front Cover shows a chef (chemist) who is synthesizing a 2‐chlorinated compound from 1‐alkyl‐2‐naphthol, sodium chloride, and Oxone in a solvent, demonstrating that Organic Synthesis is similar to cooking. A practical, efficient and environmentally benign protocol for the chlorinative dearomatization of naphthols and phenols has been developed using transient chlorinating species generated in situ from inexpensive sodium chloride and Oxone as a Cl source and an oxidant, respectively.
