Graphical Abstract

Cycloadditions. Bicyclo[n.1.1]alkanes show great promise in substituting planar aromatic rings, akin to the "butterfly effect". In their Research Article (e202408578), Jian-Jun Feng et al. present a Lewis acid-catalyzed cycloaddition of bicyclobutanes (butterfly conformation) with 2D pyridinium thiolate derivatives.
