The inside cover picture , provided by Zhiyong Jiang and co‐workers, illustrates the ability of N ‐aryl‐α‐amino acids to experience efficient cascade aerobic decarboxylative Povarov and oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) reactions, leading to two series of valuable azaarenes and quinolines. An unprecedented synthesis of chiral N ‐amino‐2‐methyl‐THQs with high enantioselectivities was also realized. Details can be found in the communication on pages 1754–1760 (T. Shao, Y. Yin, R. Lee, X. Zhao, G. Chai, Z. Jiang, Adv. Synth. Catal . 2018 , 360 , 1754–1760; DOI: 10.1002/adsc.201800135).
