The front cover picture , provided by M. Mar Díaz‐Requejo, Pedro J. Pérez and co‐workers, shows the capabilities of copper as catalyst for the selective functionalization of the C sp2 −H bond of 1 H ‐pyrroles by carbene insertion from diazo compounds. The N−H and C−H bonds are represented by chains, from which only the latter can be cleaved in this catalytic transformation, despite the lower bond dissociation energy and higher polarity of the N–H bond. The authors thank Dr. Ivan Rivilla for artwork design. Details of the work reported can be found in the full paper on pages 1998–2004 (A. M. Rodríguez, F. Molina, M. M. Díaz‐Requejo, P. J. Pérez, Adv. Synth. Catal . 2020 , 362 , 1998–2004; DOI: 10.1002/adsc.201901629).
