The front cover picture , provided by Dorota Gryko and co‐workers, illustrates an organocatalytic CH photooxygenation of aldehydes at the α‐position. The reaction proceeds via enamine catalysis, although enamines should be easily oxidized by 1 O 2 to amides and carbonyl compounds. Depending on a catalyst used, ( S )‐ or ( R )‐enantioselectivity can be observed. The ( S )‐enantiomer predominates in imidazolidinone‐catalyzed reactions, while prolinamides assure the formation of the ( R )‐enantiomer. Details can be found in the full paper on pages 2061–2070 (D. J. Walaszek, K. Rybicka‐Jasińska, S. Smoleń, M. Karczewski, D. Gryko, Adv. Synth.
