The front cover picture , provided by Shū Kobayashi and co‐workers, illustrates an integrated process of oxidation–olefination–asymmetric 1,4‐addition reactions under aerobic and aqueous conditions using two different metal nanoparticles as robust heterogeneous catalysts. A tandem process of aerobic oxidation and Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons olefination was successfully catalyzed by gold/palladium bimetallic nanoparticles. This tandem process was further connected with an asymmetric 1,4‐addition reaction catalyzed by chiral rhodium nanoparticles to achieve a challenging three‐step, one‐pot sequential reaction. Details can be found in the communication on pages 3815–3819 (H. Miyamura, A. Suzuki, T. Yasukawa, S. Kobayashi, Adv. Synth. Catal. 2015 , 357 , 3815–3819; DOI: 10.1002/adsc.201500529 ).
