The front cover image, provided by Dorta and co‐workers, illustrates how to access diarylmethylamines in high yields and enantioselectivities through the use of a chiral disulfoxide/rhodium precatalyst that effects the 1,2‐addition of arylboroxines to aromatic imines. The system is very simple and combines ease of synthesis of the chiral ligand with low catalyst loadings, mild reaction conditions without requiring any external bases or other additives. Details can be found in the full paper on pages 1759–1766 (G.‐Z. Zhao, G. Sipos, A. Salvador, A. Ou, P. Gao, B. W. Skelton, R. Dorta, Adv. Synth.
