The front cover picture illustrates the conversion of lignin‐derived monomers to functional chemicals by selective organic transformations. In this review, the valorization of lignin‐derived feedstocks by amination, hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, oxidation, carbonylation, hydrolysis and trifluoromethylation reactions for the synthesis of amines, cyclohexanes, cyclohexanols, cyclohexanones, esters, ketones, cyclic ethers, trifluoromethylated compounds and heterocycles as well as pharmaceuticals and biomolecules is summarized. Details can be found in the review by Rajenahally V. Jagadeesh and collaborators. (K. Natte, A. Narani, V. Goyal, N. Sarki, R. V. Jagadeesh, Adv. Synth. Catal . 2020 , 362 , 5143–5169; DOI: 10.1002/adsc.202000634).
