Abstract
The Front Cover shows how combining theoretical and experimental investigations allows predicting the feasibility and the selectivity of Diels–Alder reactions involving furfural as a bio-based diene, opening a straightforward route to renewable aromatics. More information can be found in the Full Paper by I. van Scodeller et al.
