The inside cover picture , provided by Yongbo Zhou, Shuang‐Feng Yin, and co‐workers, illustrates a novel copper‐catalyzed selective semihydrogenation of terminal alkynes using hypophosphorous acid as hydrogen donor. The reaction took place efficiently to afford the corresponding alkenes in high yields. A broad range of substituted terminal aromatic and aliphatic alkenes, including terminal dienes and enynes bearing internal triple bonds, can be efficiently synthesized by this reaction, as reported in the communication on pages 765–769 (H.‐Y. Cao. T.‐Q. Chen, Y.‐B. Zhou, D.‐Q. Han, S.‐F. Yin and L.‐B. Han, Adv. Synth. Catal. 2014, 356, 765–769; DOI: 10.1002/adsc.201300916) .
