The front cover picture , provided by Lijin Xu, Weidong Zhang and co‐workers, illustrates an efficient and versatile Rh(III)‐catalyzed direct ortho‐olefination of arenes, such as benzamides, arylpyridines and indoles, with unactivated aliphatic olefins bearing different substitution patterns. This reaction exhibits high regio‐ and stereo‐selectivity, functional group tolerance, and ample substrate scope. This new method expands the scope of rhodium(III)‐catalyzed direct C‐H bond olefination of arenes, and provides a rapid access to useful linear arylation products of unactivated aliphatic olefins. Details can be found in the full paper on pages 573–583 (X. Xue, J. Xu, L. Zhang, C. Xu, Y. Pan, L. Xu, H. Li, W. Zhang, Adv. Synth. Catal. 2016 , 358 , 573–583; DOI: 10.1002/adsc.201500697 ).
