The front cover picture , provided by Ke Duan et al., illustrates the utilization of alkylboronates as radical sources via transition metal‐catalyzed oxidative deboronation or a photo‐catalyzed deboronative pathway, which has allowed the development of a wide range of innovative reactions. These methods enable chemists to forge carbon‐carbon or carbon‐heteroatom bonds for many intriguing and valuable chemical transformations. This review examines recent significant advances in radical functionalization of alkylboronates with an emphasis on both the synthetic outcome and reaction mechanism. Details can be found in the review on pages 2781–2795 (K. Duan, X. Yan, Y. Liu, Z. Li, Adv. Synth. Catal . 2018 , 360 , 2781–2795; DOI: 10.1002/adsc.201701626).
