The front cover picture , provided by Sen Liang, Cheng‐Chu Zeng, Hong‐Yu Tian, Bao‐Guo Sun, Xu‐Gang Luo, and Fa‐zheng Ren, illustrates an efficient electrochemical protocol for the one‐pot α‐C−H thiocyanation and sulfenylation of ketones employing redox active NaI and heterogeneous solid acid Amberlyst‐15(H) ® dual catalyst system in a simple undivided cell. The protocol proved to be practical since the solid salt could be reused in up to five consecutive gram‐scale runs without significant decrease in efficiency. This strategy features step and atom economy as well as avoiding the prefunctionalization of the starting ketones. Details can be found in the full paper on pages 1444–1452 (S. Liang, C.‐C.
