The front cover picture, provided by Javier Mazuela, Oscar Pámies and Montserrat Diéguez illustrates the multiscreening asymmetric reduction of minimally functionalized olefins catalyzed by Ir‐phosphite‐pyridine catalysts. Under the reported conditions, a broad range of E ‐ and Z ‐trisubstituted alkenes, including more demanding triarylsubstituted olefins, and dihydronaphthalenes have been hydrogenated in excellent enantiocontrol. This good performance extends to the very challenging class of terminal disubstituted olefins, and to olefins containing neighbouring polar groups ( ees up to 99%). This methodology is illustrated in the full paper by Mazuela, Pámies and Diéguez on pages 2569–2583 (DOI: 10.1002/ adsc.201201017) .
